Nuestras vidas digitales e hiperconectadas tienen al alcance milenios de conocimiento, pero ¿qué sabemos del mundo de los fantasmas? Nosotros hemos cambiado, pero ellos no: simplemente se han adaptado y han encontrado innovadores caminos para abordarnos. Habitan en nuestras aplicaciones informáticas y deambulan por el metaverso del mismo modo que antes se escondían en casas tenebrosas, empeñados en difuminar los límites entre la vida y la muerte y siempre a la caza de nuevas formas de comunicarse, de rondar nuestros recuerdos, de vengarse o de asumir el control de nuestra vida.
