Chilling, poignant, and uncomfortably timely, Ma’s braided memory dispatches explore a future in which the shifting concepts of safety, loyalty, and truth lead nowhere except condemnation." — Tessa Hulls, author of Pulitzer Prize-winner F<i>eeding Ghosts</i></b></p><p>For fans of <i>Cloud Atlas </i>and <i>The Power,</i> a hauntingly beautiful and prescient debut set in a future where a renamed China is the sole global superpower.</p><p><i>When I was a boy, my mother used to tell me stories of a world before memories could be shared between strangers…</i></p><p>In a far-off future ruled by the Qin Empire, every citizen is fitted with a Mindbank, an intracranial device capable of recording and transmitting memories between minds. This technology gives birth to Memory Capitalism, where anyone with means can relive the life experiences of others. It also unleashes opportunities for manipulation: memories can be edited, marketed, and even corrupted for personal gain.</p><p>After the sudden passing of his mother, an unnamed narrator inherits a collection of banned memories from her Mindbank so dangerous that even possessing them places his freedom in jeopardy. Traversing genres, empires, and millennia, they are tales of sumo wrestlers and social activists and armless swimmers and watchmakers, struggling amid the backdrop of Qin’s ascent toward global dominance. Determined to release his mother's memories to the world before they are destroyed forever, the narrator will risk everything—even if the cost is his own life.</p><p>Powerful a
