These Memories Do Not Belong to Us

In a dystopian future, China becomes known as Qin, the main, authoritarian world power. Citizens have the ability to exchange memories through an intracranial “Mindbank,” and “Memory Capitalism” allows people to live out the experiences of others. But as with all technology, there is room to alter it, and memories can be bent for selfish gain. This novel looks at how government and technology can be set up to control lives. Hardcover, 224 pages, Mariner Books, 9¼”x 6¼”.
