This article critically analyzes the course Agatha Christie: Writing, by BBC Maestro, in which the author is digitally recreated to teach after her death. From this case, it discusses the commodification of absence, the aestheticization of death, and the new regimes of authority in digital culture, proposing a new category related to Jean Baudrillard’s (1991) theory: necrosimulacra.
