 Bu çalışmanın konusu dindışı ölümsüzlük arzusunun doğası ve dijital cennet fikridir. Dijital cennet, Netflix film platformunda yayımlanan Black Mirror isimli dizinin San Junipero bölümünde işlenmiştir. Konu bu gönderim çerçevesinde mercek altına alınmıştır. San Junipero kurgulanmış bir gelecek projeksiyonu olarak değerlendirilebilir. Bu kurgu, kısa veya uzun vadede etkisini gösterecek yoğun mesajlargönderimler içermekle birlikte dindışı ölümsüzlük arzusunun rasyonelleştirilmesi, meşrulaştırılması ve somutlaştırılması açısından önemlidir. Çalışma dijital cennet San Junipero örneğinden hareketle dindışı ölümsüzlük arzusunun anlamını ve doğasını keşfetmeyi ve içerdiği mesajları analiz etmeyi hedeflemektedir. San Junipero dizi bölümü nitel araştırma yöntemine uygun bir şekilde vaka örneği olarak ele alınmış, fenomenolojik ve göstergebilimsel yaklaşım ile incelenip yorumlanmıştır. Sonuçta dinlerde yer alan ölüm ötesi hayatın ve cennetin sekülerdünyeviteknolojik taklidi olarak kurgulanmış San Junipero ile yansıtılan dindışı ölüm ötesi arayışında ve ölümsüzlük arzusunun doğasında; inançsızlık imansızlık, Tanrıyı, ölümü ve dünyevi sorunları aşma, nihilist güç istenci, yok olma korkusu ile baş etme ve acılardan kaçınma, zamana ve ölüme meydan okuma, her şeyden özgürleşme, hazcılık, akla, güce ve teknolojiye inanma, kozmik anlam arayışı gibi temel inanç ve motivasyonların olduğu değerlendirilmiştir.
