Abstract
History, the story of human beings, has been full of century-old conflicts, fights, and unending wars. Dreaming a peaceful world looks like a pure naïve desire, but ironically, this naivety can be the only salvation for human beings. We all witness a series of outbreaking and cutting-edge technological innovations, and this digitalized world transforms society sharply. New media have tsunami-like effects on people by creating a new culture in digital habitus and metaverse, but the existence of violence, war, and terrorism still linger all over the world. Violence and terrorism only changed their tophos and faces. The study is finalized by briefly exploring the new possibilities of governing the world by algocracy, a new type of democracy regulated by algorithms. Since the search for discourse for sustainable peace perspectives and a world without terrorism is the main leitmotif of this chapter, the methodology of the chapter starts with the essential discussions on counterterrorism, dataveillance, sustainable peace, the role of redemption, and peaceful discourse in digital narrations.
