The document discusses our eternal digital afterlife and the importance of designing how our digital accounts and data are handled after death. It notes that as more of our lives move online through social media and digital services, what happens to this data when we pass away becomes an important question. The document argues we need to establish best practices for how companies should manage and potentially memorialize accounts, share data with families, and design an "offboarding" process for when users die. Overall, it stresses the importance of addressing these issues now as more people will be affected by digital legacies and afterlives in the future.

Son,
If you’re reading this, I’m dead. I’m sorry. I knew I was going to die.
I didn’t want to tell you what was going to happen, I didn’t want to see
you crying. Well, it looks like I’ve made it. I think that a man who’s
about to die has the right to act a little bit selfish.
Well, as you can see, I still have a lot to teach you. After all, you don’t
know crap about anything. So I wrote these letters for you. You must
not open them before the right moment, OK? This is our deal.
I love you. Take care of your mom. You’re the man of the house now.
Love, dad.
PS: I didn’t write letters to your mom. She’s got my car.
