520    "In a gripping and stunning coming-of-age novel, Julian R.
       Vaca reimagines a 1987 world where memories are as 
       valuable as gold. In a reimagined 1987, mankind's ability 
       to remember has deteriorated. To fight memory loss, men 
       and women rely on artificial recall by storing memories on
       tapes and playing them back. Society's elite, dubbed 
       recollectors, are able to retain "three-quarter memories" 
       on their own-and they make the rules. Seventeen-year-old 
       orphan Freya Latimore doesn't have time for rules. School 
       and responsibilities take a backseat in her life as she 
       tirelessly works to assemble the gear she needs to become 
       a documentary filmmaker. It's a dying profession in 
       Freya's world, but it could enable her to uncover the 
       truth about her father's mysterious death. Fernando Ortiz 
       couldn't care less about his trust fund or his posh, 
       cushiony life. He just wants to get through his senior 
       year of high school so he can leave home, ride his 
       motorcycle up the Pacific Coast Highway, and "find 
       himself." But his father-a career politician-carries dark 
       secrets that may prove impossible to outrun. Freya and 
       Fernando's lives are both upended when the founder of 
       Memory Frontier, a billion-dollar corporation, announces 
       the forthcoming release of groundbreaking medical 
       technology that will forever change artificial recall. 
       Five hundred randomly selected students will be sent to a 
       prestigious boarding school, where they will trial the new
       medical technology in pursuit of a "better tomorrow." But 
       when students disappear in the night under the watch of 
       the school's ruthless, militaristic dean, Freya and 
       Fernando begin to question everything-including all 
       they've come to believe about memory loss." --|cProvided
