The Great Hour of geopolitics has arrived, when in the process of geopolitical transformation a new formula of world order is born: “Whoever has the largest volume of digital information and the speed of its processing, owns the world.” At this Hour, it is time to think about the image of the near future and to do this, remember the imperial past. In the revolutionary era of IT technologies, robotization of all types of activity, time is accelerating and, along with geographical space, cyberspace is being intensively developed. New outposts for the development of the Earth's multidimensional space will be formed - cyberports with quasi-state functions similar to the East India Companies of the past. The struggle between the neoliberal model of the West and the global majority for traditional values will intensify.
