In quiet corners of past iterations of the web, the dead linger. But attempts at preserving the data of the dead are often ill-fated, for websites and devices decay and die, just as people do. Death disrupts technologists plans for platforms. It reveals how digital production is always collaborative, undermining the entrepreneurial platform economy and highlighting the flaws of techno-solutionism. Big Tech has authority not only over peoples lives but over their experiences of death as well. Ordinary users and workers, though, advocate for changes to tech companies policies around death. Drawing on internet histories along with interviews with founders of digital afterlife startups, caretakers of illness blogs, and transhumanist tinkerers, the technology scholar Tamara Kneese takes readers on a tour of the ways that platforms and people work together to care for digital remains. What happens when commercial platforms encounter the messiness of mortality? 650 0 $a Death $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Information technology $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Internet $x Social aspects. 650 6 $a Technologie de l'information $x Aspect social. 650 6 $a Internet $x Aspect social. 650 7 $a Death $x Social aspects $2 fast 650 7 $a Information technology $x Social aspects $2 fast 650 7 $a Internet $x Social aspects $2 fast 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780300275001 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240405024608.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A71BC766F31211EEA2A0228A4CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
