Overview
In this electric speculative YA sci/fi novel, the world treats memories like currency, so dreams can be a complicated business. Perfect for fans of Neal Stephenson and Philip K. Dick.
In an alternative 1987, a disease ravages human memories. There is no cure, only artificial recall. The lucky onesāthe recollectorsāneed the treatment only once a day.
Freya Izquierdo isnāt lucky. The high school senior is a ādegenā who needs artificial recall several times a day. Plagued by blinding half-memories that take her to her knees, sheās desperate to remember everything that will help her investigate her fatherās violent death. When her sleuthing almost lands her in jail, a shadowy school dean selects her to attend his Foxtail Academy, where five hundred students will trial a new tech said to make artificial recall obsolete.
Sheās the only degen on campus. Why was she chosen? Freya is nothing like the other students, not even her new friends Ollie, Chase, and the alluring Fletcher Cohen. Definitely not at all like the students who start to vanish, one by one. AndĀ nothingĀ like the mysterious Dean Mendelsohn, who has a bunker deep in the woods behind the school.
Nothing can prepare Freya and her friends for the truth of what that bunker holds. And what kind of memories sheāll have to access to survive it.
