One step closer to immortality? This short story explores the idea that we can live on after our deaths through our "Auto" a digital version of ourselves that helps to run our lives pulling together all our online and digital footprints and even helping us out by taking over routine tasks and make decisions for us.

What happens when we die though? Does our Auto die with us? Not necessarily. Even after death we can still be an interactive part of the lives of those we leave behind, for better or worse. I found it unsettling. The future this author creates is tantalisingly close to reality and it definitely made me think about where technology and social media are taking us.

A quick, easy, enjoyable short read.
