Memory-Island

The year 2041 is the eighth year since memory retrieval technology became popular. People strip away painful, boring, and redundant memories from their brains, store them in the cloud, and travel with ease. Marine geologist Lin Yu is a heavy user of this technology - 1,007 extractions, 13.7TB of memory data, and almost all the weight of his life are sealed in the server of the Monsoon Research Institute. Until a system accident, 63% of his memory data was permanently lost. Among the 37% remaining memory fragments, a highly encrypted memory miraculously remained intact. Encrypted: seven years ago. Encrypted location: South China Sea, a scientific research ship named "Gudao". In order to retrieve the lost past, Lin Yu went south to the island, looking for an island that did not exist on any map. Accompanying him was only a scientific expedition diary from seven years ago, and the words written by a female recorder in the diary—— "I heard him whisper something. Judging from the shape of his mouth, it seemed to be - 'Long time no see'." What is hidden on that island? This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
