Mem by James K. Morrow
Set in an alternate 1920s Montreal, the story explores a world where memories can be extracted and embodied into physical entities called "Mems." These Mems live in a confined existence, replaying the extracted memory repeatedly. The narrative follows Dolores Extract No. 1, a unique Mem who possesses the ability to think and feel beyond her singular memory. As she navigates her existence, she grapples with the nature of identity, consciousness, and the ethical implications of memory extraction, ultimately questioning what it means to truly live.
