This is the end result of digital worlds. Once meta-verse and its clones become mainstream, i doubt anybody will ever truly be dead. All that data will be saved and simulated for eternity.
Its not even dystopian either. It could be a good thing. For example, imagine a grandfather leaving messages, stories, and physical mannersims for his newborn grandchildren right before he dies. Something like this is possible when all that data is stored.
Imagine a young steven hawkings born in 2022, whose whole life has been lived and documented inside a VR world. Even after he died, his methods could be simulated to create more scientific breakthroughs after his death.
The future is exciting.
