Last night's episode of Techtonic w/Mark Hurst featured Carl Öhman, author of "The Afterlife of Data." Absolutely fascinating interview, avail here: https://www.wfmu.org/flashplayer.php?version=3&show=143612&archive=258097

Some cool stuff I remember off the top of my braino from the episode: big tech are the unwilling stewards of history, and as such, they end up scrubbing lots of important things that are shared on their platforms (i.e. war crimes depicted on video sent to Youtube gets auto-deleted, etc)

Modernism rejects the idea of death, social media is a hypermodern platform in itself, and yet we are now faced with forced or willing interactions with dead people on these platforms
