Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review trends in the spheres of confrontation in the modern world caused by digitalization. Digitalization, through its technologies, is changing the structure of geopolitical and civilizational confrontation: it is forming a new bipolarity (the confrontation between the United States and China), intensifying the confrontation between technogenic and traditionalist civilizations, intensifying class contradictions and struggle, forming contradictions between the Third, Second and First waves (according to Toffler), creates the preconditions for new forms of civil war (from local to global). These trends are developing unevenly, but they have an impact on all spheres and levels of life of modern humanity.
