We talk about:

  • Redesigning death
  • Losing parents
  • Digital remains of our lives
  • Death is a universal market opportunity
  • Using the full extent of the design space death provides
  • The pursuit of immortality
  • Euthanasia
  • Who matters more the dying or the left behind

Let’s design!
