Elektroideista

Elektroideista is a term that appears in certain linguistic and cultural discussions to denote a follower or advocate of elektroide ideas—a broad and informal designation for theories or philosophies that place electronic technologies, cybernetics, or digital systems at the center of life, society, or knowledge. The term is not widely standardized, and its precise meaning depends on the context in which it is used. Its construction blends elektro- (electric or electronic) with -ide (as in ideology) and -ista (a suffix for adherents).

In speculative fiction, elektroideistas are often depicted as proponents of cybernetic enhancement, networked living, and algorithmic governance, presenting a worldview in which technology shapes identity, ethics, and social organization. In real-world discourse, the label may be used descriptively to indicate someone who favors techno-centric explanations or solutions, or polemically to critique such positions in debates on artificial intelligence, transhumanism, or digital sovereignty. Because it is a neologism with limited usage, the term can carry varying connotations—from neutral to critical—depending on who uses it and for what purpose.

Characteristics attributed to elektroideistas in discussions can include an emphasis on technology as central to human life, interest in cybernetic systems and datafication, and a willingness to integrate digital infrastructures into social or political theory. Critics often warn that the term is vague or context-dependent, and warn against conflating diverse techno-leaning perspectives under a single label.
