Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Digital Afterlife: A Global Framework for Law, Technology, and Victim JusticeThe book Digital Afterlife: A Global Framework for Law, Technology, and Victim Justice offers the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary examination of what happens to our identities, data, and digital footprints after death. Drawing from cyberpsychology, digital forensics, human rights law, AI ethics, platform governance, and personal experiences, the book provides a structured, evidence-based guide for understanding and managing posthumous digital rights in this rapidly evolving field.The book begins by examining how grief, memory, and identity have evolved in the digital age. It discusses the rise of 'digital ghosts' where profiles, messages, and content remain permanently, and the emotional effects of encountering the online presence of the deceased. It then considers platform policies, legal inconsistencies, and the dilemmas faced by families who become 'digital orphans' when systems prevent access to a loved one's accounts. These human-centred cases demonstrate how the digital afterlife is influenced not only by technology but also by social and psychological factors.From Chapter 5 onwards, the book explores advanced threats and opportunities created by artificial intelligence. It details the mechanisms of AI resurrection technologies, deepfakes, griefbots, and avatar reanimation, emphasising both their reassuring possibilities and the dangers of manipulation, fraud, and exploitation. The sections on identity theft and 'dark web resurrection' reveal how criminal markets target the deceased for synthetic identity fraud, cryptocurrency theft, tax scams, and impersonation, highlighting urgent gaps in global law enforcement and cybersecurity.The second part shifts from diagnosis to governance. It offers practical guidance on preparing a digital will, managing digital estates, using platform legacy tools, and establishing clear posthumous data directives. Using case studies and templates, the book empowers individuals and families to protect digital memories, secure accounts, and prevent misuse.Chapters on ethics and dignity provide a philosophical and legal foundation for posthumous rights, emphasising respect, autonomy, privacy, and cultural sensitivity after death. These analyses demonstrate that, if unregulated, emerging technologies threaten human dignity by enabling non-consensual voice cloning, data harvesting, and inappropriate memorialisation practices.The heart of the book is the Digital Charter, a universal framework proposing essential rights (dignity, consent, privacy, continuity, cultural respect), standardised global procedures, governance models, and safeguards for AI, platforms, regulators, and families. It details immediate, medium-term, and long-term implementation pathways, including global treaties, a Digital Death Index, interoperability standards, ombudsman structures, and international coordination.Supported by annexes with flowcharts, checklists, templates, and glossary terms, the book converts complex ideas into practical tools. Ultimately, Digital Afterlife urges recognising digital-afterlife governance as a human right and provides a visionary yet realistic roadmap to ensure that every individual's digital legacy is protected with dignity, compassion, and justice.
