The study subject of the paper is philosophical analysis of virtualization of consciousness and the issue of external control over the "human technogenic". Comprehension of the new sociocultural type is presented with regard to continuing information streaming and the presence of virtual consciousness with a widely differing basis — ontological, gnoseological, technological, virtual, psychological, social, etc. Considering social representations and mechanisms of influence (at individual and group levels) is an important aspect of the study. The sociocultural approach, allowing determining specificity of consciousness virtualization, serves as a methodological basis of the study. The issue of formation of the new sociocultural type — the human technogenic, is studied on the basis of the anthropological approach. [1] The issue of "external control" over the human technogenic through the lens of the modern culture uniqueness is studied on the basis of analysis of the main factors of social dynamics with technological innovations. Scientific novelty of the study consists in 1) grounding the idea that the main trend in "external control" over social representations of the human technogenic is divorcement from reality and virtualization of individual's inner world, 2) justifying that a significant part of interpersonal relationships in the technological society, under conditions of modern reality, in the situation of continuing global information streaming is formed under the lens of technical devices, resulting in a changing structure of consciousness — it is being virtualized, and 3) grounding the idea that the process of consciousness virtualization itself is conditioned to the need of the modern individual for construction of subjective reality in the real-life space by means of simulacra, copies and virtual
