What is the interpretation of the Noble Verse "a Book inscribed," and does it mean a "digital book" in which the details of our worldly lives are recorded and which we will see in Paradise, as is rumored?

The interpretation of the word "marqūm" in the Holy Quran means "written," and exegetes have agreed upon this. The origin of the word in the language denotes distinctiveness, planning, and writing. It is not permissible to interpret "kitābun marqūm" (a written book) as "a digital book" merely due to the similarity in wording, as this would be speaking about Allah without knowledge.
