The authors have proved that the concepts of information culture and cyberculture are united in the sense of theoretical generalizations about understanding the essence of modern society (mass, virtual, global, information) and so on. It is substantiated that the main condition and consequence of the development of modern society is the emergence of information culture and cyberculture, which serve as the unity of value models of technical, information and technological levels of civilization, which simultaneously forms a new type of person, which is realized in two dimensions – real (physical, social) and virtual. Scientific novelty. It is substantiated that modern society is in a state of radical large-scale, systemic transformations, the consequence of which is a new stage of development of the relation "man – world", "man – society", "man – man". According to the authors, the determining factor is the development of information culture and cyberculture, which characterize the latest achievements in the development of modern science, technology, education.
