Summary

Summary

Fourth in the acclaimed Squire Quartet—from the author of "Supertoys Last All Summer Long," the basis for the movie A.I.: Artificial Intelligence.

Architectural historian Roy Burnell has been tasked with traveling the globe and listing architectural gems in danger of being destroyed. But when Burnell is in Budapest, ten years of his memory, mostly his architectural knowledge and sexual experiences, are stolen. In this near-future, thieves using EMV ("e-mnemonicvision") sell memories on the black market. In the wake of this event, Burnell tries to resume his life, while also searching for the "bullet" that will restore his memory.

Winner of two Hugo Awards, one Nebula Award, and named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America, Brian W. Aldiss challenged fans' minds for over fifty years with literate, thought-provoking, and inventive science fiction.
