In his book Between Caverns: From Platon to the Brain, via the Internet, professor Echeverría establishes the theory of the Three Environments. This theory consists of the human beings live in a world that offers us the following environments: 1. Natural environment: the biosphere. 2. Social environment: cities, the polis, and 3. Electronic space environment: Internet. The following interview took the theory of the Three Environments, and specially the third environment as the focus of the conversation.
