The digital sublime is the mythologization of the impact of computers and cyberspace on human experiences of time, space and power.[1][2] It is also known as cyber sublime or algorithmic sublime. It is a philosophical conception of emotions that captivate the collective conscience with the emergence of these new technologies and the promises and predictions that emerge from them.[1] These emotions are the awe, the astonishment, the rationality-subsuming glory, and the generally intense spiritual experience.

This feeling is essentially provoked by intentionally black-boxed algorithms or by the lack of knowledge about algorithms.[1] The sublime can be either utopian or dystopian depending on the individual's interpretation of their emotional response. The utopian interpretation of the digital sublime is known as digital utopianism and the dystopian is referred to as digital dystopia.[3]
