In the vertical urban port city of 2800 AD, memory smuggling agent Li Quan originally believed in the power of order and law until his wife Amy suffered a sophisticated memory-stealing operation and fell into a coma. During the investigation, Li Quan was shocked to find that the system he was sworn to protect had long been corrupt - his boss Chen Jing and Watson, chairman of the board of directors of the technology giant Dome Technology, colluded with each other to cover up a memory-controlled human experiment called "Project X".
Betrayed by the system, Li Quan was forced to fall into the bizarre memory black market in Hong Kong. In the process of pursuing the legendary memory hunter "Ghost", he discovered that his wife Amy was actually a commercial spy lurking around him, and that deep in her memory was hidden key evidence that could subvert the entire world. From a defender of order to an outlaw, Li Wei must struggle to navigate the cracks between various forces: the Sanhe Gang that controls black market transactions, the traceability faction that hates all memory technology, the neuromanship media that chases traffic, and the international organization GNSA that secretly snoops.
In this war about the freedom of human memory, Li Quan gradually uncovered a shocking conspiracy that spanned half a century, and discovered that all events were related to the mysterious organization "Eternal Echo". This dark group composed of hereditary rich attempts to become invisible gods by controlling the memory and cognition of all mankind. In the end, Li Jin must make a difficult choice: save the love of his life, or prevent "Eternal Echo" from its crazy ambition to control all human cognition?
"Stolen Memory" is a cyberpunk suspense masterpiece that uses future technology as a mirror to deeply explore the ultimate value of humanity, truth and free will in a commodity era where memory can be tampered with.
