The Ferryman: the Consciousness Parasite

In the 22nd century, the boundary between life and death has become a tradable digital commodity. Top professional ferrymen wander through the last 90 seconds of memory of the dying person, experiencing unfinished regrets, forbidden pleasures or fatal confessions for their clients. They exchange the fragments of other people's lives for sensory gifts - the pianist's fingertip touch, the perfumer's olfactory map, and even the murderer's adrenaline rush. But behind every transaction is an irreversible distortion of one's own five senses: people who cannot taste sweetness can taste the first love of someone who died thirty years ago in a heavy rain. The protagonist Lin Du suddenly discovered something, and the real curtain of this world was quietly being opened... This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
