Time background: Near future, 2041.
Core technology: "Hippocampus holographic mapping technology".
Humanity invented the "memory editor". Originally used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression.
By 2041, "memory beauty salons" are blooming everywhere. People prune unpleasant memories like medical beauty treatments. The rich are keen on buying "celebrity memory experiences" (such as the shock of the moon landing, the thrill of top athletes), while the poor make profits by selling their "painful childhood memories" to artists in exchange for inspiration.
Gray area: A service has emerged in the black market - "memory blaming". Create the perfect scapegoat by editing the murderer's criminal memories and implanting them into someone else's brain.
Core contradiction: When memory can be tampered with, "confessions" and "eyewitnesses" completely lose their legal validity. The traditional criminal investigation logic collapsed. In order to deal with this situation, the government secretly established a special department-"Memory Tailor Shop" (official code name: SCU-7, Subconscious Correction and Investigation Unit).
