The problems of global communication processes are reviewed in the article. Their excessive influence on the economy, politics, culture and society as a whole has generated the phenomenon of communication alienation, which is considered as an objective phenomenon of social reality. The authors analyze the types of communication alienation arising at different levels of the social structure. The growing prevalence of the alienation significantly hinders the processes of adaptation, socialization and re-socialization, which are the most important for the society. The mass media and communications contribute to the effect of fractal expansion of alienation that leads to its acquisition of the quality attribute of the information society.
