If you had the chance to talk to a loved one who had died, would you take it?

With the help of AI and Big Data, it could feel as real as an every day online chat. It could feel like having your loved one back, and it’s probably the biggest business idea of the digital age.

Eternal You follows tech start-ups that use a wealth of data to develop ‘digital doppelgangers’, turning immortality into a product, and meets people who have used these services to ‘reconnect’ with those they have lost.

Exploring this profound human desire whilst wrestling questions of responsibility, digital security and ethics, Eternal You is a riveting insight into a future we must navigate.
