Abstrakt: The aim of the article is to draw attention to and discuss the relevance of the migration studies to the better understanding of the transformation of the human identity on entering the digital spaces, in consideration of the fact that the latter are frequently presented as a utopian destination. It is argued that the said transformation and frag-mentation of the human self and identity can be compared to the one experienced by migrants. Drawing parallels between the insights of Hillis (1999), Hron (2009), Zuboff (2019), and Sisto (2022), one can discover numerous common points between the utopian studies, migration studies, and digital culture, which allow taking a new perspective on the experiences of increasingly digitalized, post-pandemic society.
