About this edition

What do you keep, and what keeps you? Okonkwo writes about a hard drive as an heirloom, a hand-painted shop sign that outlived the shop's website, and a museum's decision to exhibit a folder of screenshots. Each essay takes one object and follows it until it says something uncomfortable about the way we now archive ourselves.

“Short, sharp, funny in places. Written to be argued with.”
