Abstract

The paper introduces some of the most important issues raised by Digital Death studies. After briefly analyzing the concept of Digital Death, the authors report and comment on a conversation between two experts, namely the philosopher Davide Sisto and the writer Ade Zeno. Their dialogue highlights six key-reflections on Digital Death, which should serve as a basis for future research on the topic.
