DESCRIPTION:These Memories Do Not Belong to Us by Yiming MaIn a far-off f
 uture ruled by the Qin Empire, every citizen is fitted with a Mindbank, an
  intracranial device capable of recording and transmitting memories betwee
 n minds. This technology gives birth to Memory Capitalism, where anyone wi
 th means can relive the life experiences of others. It also unleashes oppo
 rtunities for manipulation: memories can be edited, marketed, and even cor
 rupted for personal gain. After the sudden passing of his mother, an unna
 med narrator inherits a collection of banned memories from her Mindbank so
  dangerous that even possessing them places his freedom in jeopardy. Dete
 rmined to release his mother's memories to the world before they are 
 destroyed forever, the narrator will risk everything--even if the cost is 
 his own life. Powerful and provocative, These Memories Do Not Belong to U
 s masterfully explores how governments and media manipulate history to con
 trol the collective imagination. It forces us to see beyond the sheen of c
 onvenient truths and to unearth real stories of sacrifice and love that re
 fuse to be eradicated. For all book clubs: Additional print copies are av
 ailable at the Library. Limited digital copies may be available. Please co
 ntact Adult Services to check availability or for further information.
