The Creation and Inheritance of Digital Afterlives by Debra J Bassett
This book explores how social networking platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp accidentally enable and nurture the creation of digital afterlives, and, importantly, the effect this digital inheritance has on the bereaved.
Debra J. Bassett received her PhD from the University of Warwick and is a visiting fellow at the University of Bath. Her qualitative research focuses on how, through avatar creation, blogs, vlogs and social network sites, people are creating and nurturing bonds with the dead, and how this human-computer interaction may affect how people grieve.
