Meet Reed Blagden, a minor celebrity comedian who scrapes a living by telling cheap jokes in backstreet nightclubs. When a revolutionary new social media app hits the market, an app called NeuroStar that allows users to upload their memories directly to the website using brain electrodes, Reed does what any other immature, opportunistic comedian would do in such circumstances in order to boost his career-he uploads a dirty, sleazy memory for a laugh. The video does well, and immediately goes viral. In fact, it does so well that when Reed decides that he wants to delete the video, the CEO of NeuroStar is furious. Follow Reed as he becomes a fugitive in his own city, and tries desperately to escape the clutches of a powerful corporation who wants to seize one of his most intimate possessions-his memory. This science fiction novella explores the recent rise of social media, as well as one particular nightmare scenario that could result from it. Embark on this sci-fi adventure, written by James Flynn, and you will gain a memory to be thankful for!
