About This Novel
In 2087 AD, neuroscience completed the last piece of the puzzle-human beings achieved complete digital reading and writing of memory. The technology began as a medical treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, but within a decade it had spawned the last and most radically unequal industry in human history: the memory economy. In this era, a person's social credit, wealth valuation, and marriage market value are all linked to his memory file. The more "pure" your memory is (untampered, emotionally dense, unique), the higher your social value. On the contrary, if your memory is tainted, diluted, and labeled as "secondary," you are at the bottom of this world. Memories are no longer private. It is mined, purified, auctioned, mortgaged, stolen, and implanted. It has become a resource more precious than oil, a currency stronger than gold, and a commodity more addictive than drugs.
