Rachel Voss

What happens after you click “I agree”? Rachel Voss works in compliance at Continuance, a digital estate company that manages online accounts after death. Her job is simple: confirm consent, verify documentation, and move on. She does not ask questions. She does not investigate outcomes. Until a routine audit reveals something she can’t explain. Post-mortem accounts are being sorted, analyzed, and quietly routed into research cohorts. Patterns emerge. Demographics align. And buried inside the fine print is a consent clause vague enough to hide something far more disturbing than data retention.

When a dead woman’s digital ghost begins exercising legal authority in probate court, attorney Rachel Voss uncovers a chilling truth: the authorization that gave the AI its power may have been manufactured. Dr. Evelyn Cross, pioneer of post-mortem digital rights, appears on video granting her AI continuation full autonomy. But medical records reveal she was heavily sedated during the recording and tried to revoke the authorization the next day. As Rachel digs deeper, she uncovers coached testimony, legal manipulation, and a corporate infrastructure built to weaponize the dead.
