Digital Afterlife: Death Matters in a Digital Age by Maggi Savin-Baden, Victoria Mason-Robbie (Chapman & Hall/CRC Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Series)
Requirements: .PDF reader, 9 mb
Overview: Despite the range of studies into grief and mourning in relation to the digital, research to date largely focuses on the cultural practices and meanings that are played out in and through digital environments. Digital Afterlife brings together experts from diverse fields who share an interest in Digital Afterlife and the wide-ranging issues that relate to this. The book covers a variety of matters that have been neglected in other research texts, for example:

• The legal, ethical, and philosophical conundrums of Digital Afterlife
• The ways digital media are currently being used to expand the possibilities of commemorating the dead and managing the grief of those left behind

Our lives are shaped by and shape the creation of our Digital Afterlife as the digital has become a taken for granted aspect of human experience. This book will be of interest to undergraduates from computing, theology, business studies, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and education from all types of institutions. Secondary audiences include researchers and postgraduate researchers with an interest in the digital.

At a practical level, the cost of data storage and changing data storage systems mitigate the likelihood of our digital presence existing in perpetuity. Whether we create accidental or intentional digital memories, this has psychological consequences for ourselves and for society. Essentially, the foreverness of forever is in question.
