Infos

2042.  Nostalgia isn't just a feeling; it's an addiction. In a world shimmering with the allure of perfectly reconstructed memories, Memoreal offers escape from the anxieties of modern life.  But the price of manufactured happiness is steep, fracturing society into those lost in the past and those struggling to navigate a present overshadowed by it.
Dr. Kristine Petersen, a memory addiction counselor, witnesses the devastating fallout firsthand.  Haunted by the ghost of her deceased sister, she resists the siren call of Memoreal, clinging to the fragile reality of her own grief.  But when a patient dies after experiencing a violently implanted memory, Kristine is thrust into a conspiracy far deeper than mere addiction.
A former memory thief, Mark Walton, haunted by his own past, operates in the city's underbelly, trading in stolen fragments of joy. Yearning for redemption, his path collides with Kristine's as they uncover a shadowy organization known as 'The Archivists.'  Led by the charismatic Troy Braun, they believe they are ushering in a new era of human evolution: a collective consciousness, where individual identity is a mere limitation.
Joined by Brenda Krause, a brilliant neuroscientist consumed by guilt over her role in creating Memoreal, they race against time to expose The Archivists' plot.  They discover Synapse, a terrifying technology capable of broadcasting manipulated memories to the masses, controlling thoughts and emotions on a global scale.
As the lines between her own memories and those of others begin to blur, Kristine must confront her deepest fears and the unresolved grief of her past.  The fight for individual consciousness becomes a fight for her very self. In a world where reality itself is malleable, can Kristine and her allies shatter the illusion of collective bliss before it consumes them all?  Dive into the mesmerizing world of *The Memory Addicts* and discover the terrifying price of manufactured happiness.
