THE DIGITAL AFTERLIFE

What happens to our data when we die

By: JD Arden

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Your photos, messages, bank records, avatars — they keep living when you don’t. The Digital Afterlife explains, without jargon or judgment, what actually happens to your online life: who can see it, who can control it, and how platform rules and shaky laws shape the outcome. Readable, a little wry, and full of concrete examples, it turns an awkward mystery into manageable choices.

You’ll learn who technically owns your accounts, how social networks treat the dead, why email is the skeleton key, and how to give a trusted person safe access without handing them your whole life. Concrete checklists and sample clauses make planning fast: decide what to keep, what to delete, and who will carry the salt. Do this once, update often — and spare the people you love the guessing and the grief.
