This dissertation analyzes the concept of techno-utopias, defined as ideal communities revolving around science and situated in the future. I argue that the faith in science typical of the Industrial Revolution produced a new form of utopia, which led to the representation of virtual spaces in twentieth-century literature and media. From the telegraph to the microcomputer, the dream of machines invaded industrial countries, such as France and the United States. This study examines the fascination with technology present in Villiers's Eve Future (1886), Zola's Travail (1901), Marinetti's manifestos (1909-1924), press articles written by the actors of the Computer Revolution, and Spike Jonze's film, Her (2013). This work engages with a rich array of theoretical perspectives drawing from various academic disciplines including literature, history of technology, media studies, and philosophy.
