Abstract
The concept of the information society is explored in this article, with an analysis of the transformation of subsystems such as politics, economics, culture, technology, production, communication, and the human element. The communicative nature of the information society is determined from a social and cultural perspective. The article highlights how communication and information have become a productive force, enabling the overcoming of national and state as well as cultural and civilizational borders. It also allows for the change of global management trends while leading to an exit beyond local social and cultural systems. Philosophical analysis within a social and cultural approach supports these provisions. The article shows that the information society is undergoing a decentralization of social space and virtualization, with its values being transformed along with their inconsistency and multidimensionality of interpretation. The process of individual adaptation becomes increasingly complex. In the information society, there is an increase in maladaptive potential and identity crisis, leading to a movement towards individualization of human beings and a decrease in relations with the social world.
