Last Seen: The Lives We Leave Behind Online
In a world where our final moments are often captured, shared, and scrolled past, Last Seen explores how death has become a digital event—public, permanent, and profoundly human.

From spontaneous selfies taken hours before tragedy to Facebook profiles that outlive their owners, this groundbreaking book examines the rise of the "last photo" phenomenon and the evolving rituals of grief in the age of social media. Through intimate case studies, cultural analysis, and ethical inquiry, Last Seen reveals how our digital footprints become ghostly legacies, reshaping how we mourn, remember, and find meaning after loss.

Whether comforting or haunting, our online lives don't disappear when we do. They echo. They persist. And they demand new ways of understanding what it means to say goodbye.
