"Tantalizing and surreal . . ." —Publishers Weekly ". . . sure to twist your mind in a million different ways." —BookRiot This story only ever has one ending. When Everly Tertium encounters a strange man in the park claiming to be her grandfather, she is invited to visit a mysterious apartment building. There, she finds herself in a constant state of dÉjÀ vu, impossibly certain that she's already lived through these moments, already been introduced to these people, and already visited all of these rooms and floors. So why does she have no idea what's happening to her? The longer she stays in the building, the more Everly becomes convinced there is more going on than meets the eye. Something is off, time seems to pass differently, and the people living there seem trapped. Slowly, Everly begins to wonder if she is trapped too. But would she even want to leave, if she could? For readers who enjoy Vicious by V. E. Schwab, This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, and The Paradox Hotel by Rob Hart.
The Memory Merchant
Discover a World Where Memories Are the New Currency Imagine a society where the most intimate moments of your past can be bought, sold, and altered at will. Welcome to the groundbreaking realm of The Memory Merchant: Trading Moments, Shaping Futures, a riveting exploration into the not-so-distant future where memories have become the ultimate commodity. Dive into the heart of memory trading's genesis, where scientific breakthroughs have turned personal histories into valuable assets. Discover the tantalizing dichotomy of a world that thrives on memory markets, yet grapples with the profound impact on societal norms and personal identity. Through compelling case studies, this book illuminates lives forever changed by the power of memory manipulation, raising questions about authenticity and self-perception. As you journey through these pages, explore the intricate societal dynamics woven through collective memory and cultural identity. Uncover the ethical quandaries that loom large over this new frontier: privacy issues, consent, and the role of memory brokers who wield the power to reshape futures. How does one navigate a world where memories are malleable and psychological consequences unpredictable? Readers will ponder the cost of trading yesterday for a tomorrow yet unknown. Prepare to be captivated by speculative futures–utopian dreams and dystopian nightmares–crafted by memory scientists and cultural commentators. With each chapter, peel back layers of science fiction woven into reality as you delve into the rich tapestry of media and art, exploring how they reflect, critique, and enhance the understanding of memory commerce. Through personal narratives, legal battles, and the voices of those on the front lines, The Memory Merchant: Trading Moments, Shaping Futures offers a thought-provoking window into a future where the past is not just remembered but owned.
