Abstract: The concept of the information society genesis is introduced, which is viewed from the standpoint of informatics-cybernetic modeling of the development of Humankind as a self-controlling hierarchical-networking system. On this basis, the author obtained quantitative assessments of its typical spatial-temporal characteristics, representing geometric progressions with the denominator "$e$ to the degree $e$" (15.15426$\ldots$), as well as coordinated with them in time and space of the psychoanthropological, educational, and informational communication parameters and possibilities of a person who becomes complicated in this process and his communities of various sizes. This allowed us to push the framework of the information society for the entire historical and even archaeological epoch of such development. The resulting sequence of information technologies "signal poses / sounds/movements – mimics/gestures – speech/language – writing – replicating texts – computers – telecommunications – information nanotechnology – $\ldots$" allows us to consider the information society genesis in the broad context of a unified historical retrospective and perspective.

Keywords: information society, information technologies, informatics-cybernetic model, self-controlling hierarchical-networking system of Humankind, archaeological epoch.
