The book is about this devastating phenomenon the media has dubbed False Memory Syndrome—a mysterious affliction that drives its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived.

Helena Smith created a technology “the memory chair” that preserves our most precious memories to cure Alzheimer’s. Little does she know she has opened a pandora’s box this mind-twisting-never-ending-loop of ever-growing chaos!

P.S: In our real world in December 2012, Steve Ramirez and Xu Liu, two neuroscientists at MIT, implanted a false memory in the brain of a mouse! The general framework of the “the memory chair”! Not so far from reality after all!

This is my second Blake Crouch book – the first being Dark Matter and can I just say, his books just keep getting better! They really make you rethink your own perception of reality!

Towards the end, I could not stop reading until I knew what happened! I am amazed by how the author was able to keep track of time and the events and the concept! My brain cells were spent just reading through it let alone dissecting it for gaps and loopholes!

If anything, this book will make you relish the present moment with all the good or the bad that comes with it.

Even if you had a second chance at making better decisions, there is no guarantee that you will not end up having the challenges to deal with in some other shape of form. Life is a journey filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations, and special moments that will ultimately lead us to our destination, our purpose in life. The road is never meant to be smooth and it is those bumps or challenges that help make us into the people we can be proud of when we complete our journey of life!
