Fox is a memory editor—one of the best—gifted in the art of creating real life in the digital world. When he wakes up in the Field of Reeds Center for Memory Recovery, the therapists tell him he was victim of a terrorist bombing by Khadija Banks, the pioneer of memory editing turned revolutionary.
A bombing which shredded the memory archives of all its victims, including his husband Gabe.
Thrust into fragments of memories that survived the blast, Fox struggles to rebuild himself and grieve for a man he can't remember. But his shattered past is unreliable and unfamiliar, echoing itself over and over: his life as a refugee, a memory editor, a loving husband, a man at the center of it all.
The world is tearing itself apart to try and forget its sadness, and as Khadija fights for the soul of humanity, Fox races to save Gabe's—because saving the man he loves might be the key to saving us all.
"A work of artistic maturity, dazzling imagination and a horrible sense of foresight over what might come to pass."—Chris McCrudden, author of Battlestar Suburbia

      Tavares (A Fractured Infinity) confounds in this jam-packed mind-bender set in an Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind–style world where memories can be altered and erased. Professional memory editor Fox was employed by mega-company NIL/E to code better memories for his customers. Then came the terror attack that killed his husband, Gabe. The trauma leaves Fox with amnesia, so he checks into the Field of Reeds Center for Memory Reconstruction, hoping to regain what he lost. However, when the memories slowly begin to return to Fox, he realizes he was a “selfish, controlling asshole” to Gabe and discovers some shocking revelations that cause him to question his reality. From the start, it’s hard to keep track of all the tech that goes into editing people’s brains, and as more levels of memory and reality are exposed, things become even more slippery. While Tavares asks intriguing questions about what’s essential to humanity, there’s too much clutter to be able to think clearly about the answers. This is tough to get a handle on.
