"After we die, our hopes for an afterlife reside in the social networks we influenced when we were alive"

It might not be as tantalizing as eternal life, but at least it isn't a fairy tale.

It is rather inequitable, though. My poor mom- as great as she is, her 'afterlife' won't outlast her childrens' biological life. Meanwhile, Chris Brown and the Kardashians are influencing millions.
