Abstract / Summary:	This hand-made book identifies Facebook as an "autothanatographical" discourse, situating Facebook within a line of autothanatographic literature, beginning in the early 19th century. Citing deconstructive approaches to the face, I show the curious performative phenomenon by which the persona functions identically whether the Facebook account holder is dead or alive.
