A constant reference considered New Age networks is the existence of aliens and the link that say they have developed with them. This topic is part and parcel of a utopian imaginative work produced by a network calling itself Warriors of Light and defends the advent of a new era. The alien serves as an otherness, an epistemological break point from which to judge the world in which we live. The most important link between the members of this network is provided by the work of the imagination inextricably linked to the media as the Internet, music or movies. This is an interpretive study of the work of a network that tries to imagine, with a metaphorical language, other possibilities of reality.
