Description
In a near-future Toronto where technology offers the promise of near-immortality, the wealthy elite have found a way to manage the burden of endless existence: by erasing their pasts and implanting comforting, fabricated memories. Frank, a 'publisher,' works to refine these manufactured histories, ensuring narrative coherence in lives designed for eternal comfort. Yet, this technologically advanced society grapples with the inherent human desire for authenticity when Frank's own girlfriend, a 'BabyGen' with a genuine past, challenges the very foundations of their manufactured reality. M.G. Vassanji crafts a poignant exploration of identity, memory, and what it truly means to live, questioning the price of perfection in a world that has seemingly solved the problem of the past.
