The human networks

I've been thinking and writing about the whole steampunk and tranhumanism 'movement' (if it can be called as such) all over the net. Though they were nothing more than novelty writings, jumbled things that came straight out of my mind without much introspect, I think I'm beginning to see some underlying pattern here. I do not particularly believe in attitude or belief of any particular cultural movement like the steampunk or the transhumanism. As someone dedicated to the study of sciences the ideas of transhumanism does appeal to me, but I still think appeal alone doesn't make for a sound prediction of the future, and the St. John's apocalypse-like images espoused by some of the more enthusiastic believers of the transhumanism thinking doesn't really help either.

What I am really interested in, is the shape of the world that is beginning to emerge underneath all the superficial beliefs and cliques of various social/cultural movement. A human network that is being accelerated and consolidated into an emergent and concrete form by the technology of near instantaneous connection between individual members of the humanity, which seem to form the backbone of the majority of the changes that make up what we call the 'modern age.' It's really just a thought, nothing eloquent and lucid enough to be a theory... Perhaps this is merely adaptation of the mathematical theory of networks and links in the fashion of Barbarasi to the perspective of social theory... But something doesn't sound quite right to refer to it as such.

Formation and linking of human beings to ideas, the belief and search for the method to change/control the world through variety of means, linking which leads to a form of phase shift, the compounding between the idea and the human being... A history is a fundamentally human story... If linking between ideas and human beings, ideas and ideas, human beings to human beings is viable and displays emergent characteristics so common in their physical equivalents, the term zeitgeist begins to take more significant meaning in the structure of the world.

How would I be able to form the ideas into a coherent structure befitting that of an actual theory...
