I remember reading a novel that said you stay in the afterlife as long as any living person knew you personally, but then a global plague starts killing everyone
The last people in the afterlife were the personal friends of a science team that had been stationed in Antarctica.
Sadly, no. I remember the cover was black and white, showing a picture of like an open jacket with no person in it. I picked it up off the shelf in the library for that reason, contrary to the saying about books and covers.
I have a problem with that movie. They say that once nobody alive remembers you, you disappear from the afterlife… But they don’t know if it’s a real disintegration or just another portal, like death. Maybe the ones that “disappeared” exist in another plane while someone in the “first” afterlife remembers them.

Do you remember the name of that book? Sounds like something I’d like.

This should be the plot to Coco 2
