What you’ve done in your life time can eventually be condensed into information 

This information can be erased, artifacts of your actions destroyed over the course of history - the memory of you, gone

Now imagine entire civilizations, collections of folks could be removed from the history this way - crazy

creating and destroying; flying cars, jet engines, roc.camera, july.rocks /faust

cybernated extinction or digital genocide; just depends on the catalyst & conditions.

However, to speak against my own point - there’s a reason that there’s such ardent passion behind efforts to protect languages / cultures on the verge of distinction. I should say that once a cultural entity reaches a certain size/maturity, the ease with which any record can be wiped scales inversely. IMO at least!

Depends. 

I think this remains highly theoretical for the simple reason that there are typically vestigial artifacts that are v widely scattered. 

Buried, passed down, on mountaintops, cave walls, oral tradition, etc. 

Such a “material diaspora”, if you will, is truly “decentralized” in the purest sense.

It doesn’t even have to be digital either, we can take all the information about Troy, or Ancient Greece, destroy all traces of it, and there would be no proof it ever happened (easier said than done of course)

Destroying historical artifacts means destroying the idea of them existing in the first place
