| Summary: | In this article we develop an analysis of No lifes, those whose horizon of sense has decided to anchor mostly in their virtual lives. These digital hermits, as they are classified by some, beyond the simplifying perspective of addicts of the digital universes, often prove to be practitioners of convictions, whose diversity of profiles testifies to the complexity of the paths and the axiological choices. Like new trajectories of conversion, these recluses of the 21st century appear as a contemporary, virtual, way of digital eschatology. After returning to the reasons that motivate players to withdraw from the world and take refuge in digital universes, we will show how an analogy with hermits is heuristically fertile. |
