MEMORY DONORS

The best memories taste like copper when they leave your skull.

In a world where memories are commodities to be bought and sold, Kira Thanom operates in the shadows of Bangkok's neon-soaked streets, extracting valuable experiences from desperate clients. Unlike the brutal government-sanctioned extraction plants, she prides herself on surgical precision—taking only what's agreed upon and leaving the surrounding neural pathways intact.

But when a mysterious encrypted memory chip falls into her possession, Kira becomes the target of both the Ministry of Preservation—the architects of society's carefully controlled historical narrative—and the dangerous Mnemosyne Cartel. The chip contains something powerful enough to shatter decades of systematic deception: proof that the catastrophic environmental events known as the Great Collapse were deliberately engineered by the very corporations that now rule through memory governance.

Pursued through Bangkok's layered metropolis, from the opulent upper levels to the rotting depths of the Blank Zones where the memory-hollowed shuffle through fractured existences, Kira makes an unprecedented discovery. The chip doesn't just contain evidence—it holds the integrated consciousness of President Kaiduan, the leader who tried to prevent the Collapse and was erased from history.

As Kira's own consciousness begins to merge with the presidential archive, she becomes the living embodiment of a truth that powerful forces have spent decades burying. With the help of Echo, a hacker who has sacrificed parts of his humanity for technological enhancement, and an underground resistance known as The Remembrance, Kira must implement Kaiduan's meticulous restoration protocols before the Ministry's emergency extraction teams can capture her.

But success comes at a devastating price—her own memories, her own identity.

A cerebral science fiction thriller that explores the fragility of historical truth, the malleability of human consciousness, and the profound question: If our memories define us, who do we become when they're taken away?
