  • Abstrakt w j. angielskim: The chapter focuses on the biopolitical challenges of the rise a postmortal society as a result of the burgeoning research and business connected with technologies concerned with assuring biological and digital immortality (such as “immortality drugs”, cloning, mind uploading, simulated friends, mindfiles, digital counterparts, etc.). The central thesis of the chapter is that the postmortal society is a kind of biopolitical utopia, in the sense of a pursued ideal and a driving force for biopolitics and bioeconomy, but also a scheme of biopower, rooted deeply in the past imaginations about immortal societies: today dubbed “postmortal” and fundamentally dependent on the concepts from the range of posthumanism. The chapter aims to enrich the debate over postmortalism, bringing to the forefront its utopian character, and attempts to answer the questions about the biopolitics of a society made of digital postselves and technobiological posthumans.
