If the question is whether a file can contain a soul—the affectionate shorthand in the title—then SoulSilver’s afterlife argues yes. The file is only a collection of bits until someone loads it and remembers, replays, and passes it on. That’s where the soul lives: in the act of returning, together, to the routes and gyms and quiet towns that shaped us.
