When I started reading this book, my main concern was what would happen to the genealogy research I had undertaken. I had 'acquired' several websites and wanted to put in place a plan as to what should be done with them after I was gone. It soon became apparent that the digital footprint I needed to consider went far beyond just my family history research.
"Your Digital Afterlife" provides the reader with much information about why you need to think about your digital assets and what will happen to them when you die. This book also covers planning and tools which can be useful.
This book is for everyone who has an online (digital) presence, be it just email or social media. Consider that if you blog, you could find that without the appropriate planning, your work might be lost forever.

Your Digital Afterlife: When Facebook, Flickr and Twitter Are Your Estate, What's Your Legacy? (Voices That Matter) ペーパーバック – 2010/11/15
英語版
John Carroll, Evan Romano
(著)
Almost without realizing it, we have shifted toward an all-digital culture. Future heirlooms like family photos, home movies, and personal letters now exist only in digital form, and in many cases they are stored using popular services like Flickr, YouTube, and Gmail. These digital possessions form a rich collection that chronicles our lives and connects us to each other. But have you considered what will happen to your treasured digital possessions when you die?
Unfortunately the answer isn’t as certain as we might presume. There are numerous legal, cultural, and technical issues that could
prevent access to these assets, and if you don’t take steps to make them available to your heirs, your digital legacy could be lost forever.
Written by the creators of TheDigitalBeyond.com, this book helps you secure your valuable digital assets for your loved ones and
perhaps posterity. Whether you’re the casual email user or the hyper-connected digital dweller, you’ll come away with peace of
mind knowing that your digital heirlooms won’t be lost in the shuffle.
“Death is the final frontier of cyberspace—and this book provides a road map to the key issues, problems and future prospects for bridging this ultimate transition with dignity, security and grace.”
— Daniel “Dazza” Greenwood, Executive Director of the eCitizen Foundation
“To be ahead of one’s time usually means stepping to the side of one’s time in order to see it clearly. This book does just that, putting our digital lives and afterlives into sharp focus. Fascinating.”
— David Eagleman, neuroscientist and author

Un libro vecchio e poco utile
2017年1月12日にイタリアでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Non utile alla mia ricerca, molto ripetitivo, poi, essendo un libro del 2010, è sorpassato dall'evoluzione delle normative e dei servizi online. Sconsigliato, soldi spesi inutilmente, le stesse informazioni si possono trovare online e anche in forma più approfondita.

Un ouvrage qui résume bien la problématique de la disposition des comptes et des actifs de personnes décédées
2016年8月28日にフランスでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
... mais qui offre peu de solutions à ce problème pressant. Alors que la nécessité d'une solution devient de plus en plus évidente, à chaque jour qui passe.

your digital afterlife review by Denys Yeo
2011年2月8日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
There is a gradual recognition, in the digital current-life, that a lot of what might be left behind at the end of a user's life may be in digital form. This book is one of the first, if not the first, to help people think about this situation and make suggestions on actions they can take. It provides a good background on some of the issues to be aware of and traps to avoid in trying to maintain digital material into the future. It is also does a good job of listing resources, including websites, that may be helpful in trying to sort out a digital afterlife.
Unfortunately, it encounters a problem that many contemporary books focussing on technology suffer from - by the time a book is published some material is already dated. For example, this book suggests that photos should be culled so that more interesting ones do not get lost amongst the thousands of others - but already software is doing this job so in the future "more" will be better and a picture search application will quickly find what you want; in the book there is quite an emphasis on still photos and little comment about video - yet video is rapidly taking over as a preferred way to record experiences.
A problem in trying to grapple with the concept of a digital afterlife is conceptualising what the term might eventually mean. Is it just about preserving digital material acquired during a life time? Is it about allowing on going discourse between people in the form of a "memorial site"? Is it about setting up a digital persona that people in the future might interact with? And how can people go about creating material that they may intentionally wish leave behind rather than relying on existing material that they will leave behind? Is it about all of these things and more? These questions are raised in the book but not discussed in any substantive manner. I felt this was a bit of a let down.
The authors of this book acknowledge that it is a beginning and that we probably don't know all the questions yet - let alone the answers. For me, with a vested interest in this area, I did not feel I learned a lot that was new, and some of my current questions were not addressed by the authors. But, for someone who is new to the idea of a digital afterlife it is probably worth a read.

a Breakthrough book!

This is the first book of its kind that addresses our digital lives and what happens to all our data after we die. It will become more and more important as more of us put all our assets online. I personally have more than 25 key online accounts that I want to make sure get to my beneficiaries without a hassle. This book tells you how to do It. I insisted that each of my clients create file listing all their usernames, passwords and URL addresses while i was a financial advisor. This is critical! Read the book!
