In our time all areas of life are subject to widespread digitalization. Because of this, its ontological status is modified, since everything that can be digitized is no longer presented as a singular object, but can be reproduced in an unlimited way.
In 1854 George Boole coined the idea of ​​a universe whose elements can be exposed with the logic of presence / absence (1 and 0, everything and nothing), and expressed it in the equation x = xn, which could be considered a universal digital formula. This worldview contains a promise of proliferation, a paradise in which everything is present at all times and limitlessly, but also the threat that the analogical reality is degraded to an atrophied form of itself, as it is much more efficient in its digital imposture .
This book tries to probe the promises and horrors of Boole's formula and how it modifies the worldview and society. The formula becomes a formula of the world, and one could even think of a theology of the digital. "In the beginning was zero, and zero was with God, and God was the one."
