Abstract The article undertakes the analysis of virtual reality and the phenomenon of cyberpolitics from the standpoint of the semantic approach. Hence, the article analyses the following issues: the notion of technological vitalism and his implication to a social life (especially such processes as: dromological progress; multilevel changes in mental, body/identity, society, political sphere etc.); the notion of virtual reality and the indicators of cyberspace (above all, such as simulation, interaction, artificiality, immersion, telepresence, netorked communication) and the language of cyberpolitics (linguistic nominalism, iconism, acronism, leet speak etc.).
