After “a visit to Goon Squad” burned my entire grey cells, I was hesitated to start this book. But the idea about externalizing and downloading memory experience felt like a quick de javu reminded me of my favorite Black Mirror episode ( season 1: episode 3: “Entire History of You: it’s about special memory implant that records everything you’ve done in the past) and I was truly hooked up. I knew from the beginning my head would hurt and I could lose the last remains of my perfectly functioning grey cells ( that I got implemented after reading the previous book of the author)
At this book aspiring tech entrepreneur Bix Bouton finally presents his new technology under the name “Own your unconscious “ which helps the users access the memories they’re looking for and they can also use them in exchange the other people’s memories. But things get a little bit complicated during this sharing process by connecting various characters over several decades.
I have to say this was so complex, mind numbing but also inventive, creative. I advise you to read when your mind is clear enough to perceive the connections between characters. In my opinion understanding the connections between characters correctly was as hard as solving simultaneous equations with multiple unknowns. I must admit the author is genius! One of the best brain sport experiences I’ve ever had.
Overall: complicated, brilliant, dazzling! You shouldn’t dare to miss it!
Special thanks to NetGalley and Scribner for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts.

I could keep a chart and some graphs to keep everything straight haha. Actually, I'd probably really need them. Nothing wrong with taking notes, iPads are perfect for that.

I think I cannot live without those notes! They’re lifesaver! I couldn’t agree more Kristy 🤗📚
good review. I felt the same way about A Visit from the Good Squad, so I will try this book too but you are making me feel better about it.
You have given me some great clues to reading this book. I’m going to take a nap and clear my head, send the hubby out with the dogs, and settle into my read. Great review, as usual. Thank you. I love “One of the best brain sport experiences I’ve ever had.”
