Mem: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

Mem is a rare novel, a small publication carrying very big ideas, the kind of story that remains with you long after you’ve finished reading it.

Occur the glittering art deco world of a hundred years ago, Mem makes 1 slight alteration to history: a scientist in Montreal discovers a way allowing people to possess their remembrances extracted from their minds, entire and complete. The Mems can be found as mirror-images of their source―zombie-like animals destined to experience that singular memory space over and over, about Mem: A Book until they expire in the cavernous Vault where these are kept.

And then there is Dolores Draw out #1, the first Mem capable of creating her own remembrances. An ageless beauty shrouded in secret, she is allowed to go on her personal, and create her personal existence, until 1 day she actually is summoned back again to the Vault. What happens next is normally a gorgeously rendered, heart-breaking novel in the vein of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Hardly ever Let Me Move.

Debut novelist Bethany Morrow has created an allegory for our very own time, exploring profound questions of ownership and exactly how they relate with identity, memory space, and history, all in the shadows of Montreal’s now forgotten slave trade.
