Or will she end up as just another crime statistic?
To live, is to re-live... The Memory Engine - a device which allows you to explore past locations and events through the amalgamated memories of people who were actually there at the time. It represents a way to revisit your past via computer-generated, photo-realistic reconstructions of your own memories. All this from within an advanced virtual reality headset. That's all well and good, but when Evan Turner is asked to test the Memory Engine before its official release, his life begins to fall apart. He could probably deal with that - if it wasn't for his own ineptitude and social awkwardness that is. After a series of bizarre attacks on a huge virtual world known as 'Opalia', Evan is forced to use the Memory Engine and explore the past in order to bring the perpetrators to justice. But could relying on memories prove to be a mistake?
“…a bizarre Internet phenomenon: an “immersive” online experience—part mystery, part game, part who knows what—known as both the Incunabula Papers and Ong’s Hat. The Incunabula Papers/Ong’s Hat was, or is, a “many-threaded, open-ended interactive narrative” that ”weds an alternate history of chaos science and consciousness studies to conspiracy theories, parallel dimensions, and claims that computer-mediated environments can serve as magical tools…. the documents provoked a widespread “immersive legend-trip” in the late 1990s. Via Web forums, participants investigated the documents—manifestos—which spun up descriptions of brilliant but suppressed discoveries relating to paths that certain scientists had forged into alternate realities. Soon, those haunted dimensions existed in the minds and fantasies of Ong’s Hat’s many participants. That was evident as they responded to the original postings by uploading their own—all manner of reflections and artifacts: personal anecdotes, audio recordings, and videos—to augment what became “a really immersive world, and it was vast”.
