Thanks for the Memory by James Flynn

Meet Reed Blagden, a minor celebrity comedian who scrapes a living by telling cheap jokes in backstreet nightclubs.

When a revolutionary new social media app hits the market, an app called NeuroStar that allows users to upload their memories directly to the website using brain electrodes, Reed does what any other immature, opportunistic comedian would do in such circumstances in order to boost his career-he uploads a dirty, sleazy memory for a laugh.

The video does well, and immediately goes viral. In fact, it does so well that when Reed decides that he wants to delete the video, the CEO of NeuroStar is furious.

Follow Reed as he becomes a fugitive in his own city, and tries desperately to escape the clutches of a powerful corporation who wants to seize one of his most intimate possessions-his memory.

This science fiction novella explores the recent rise of social media, as well as one particular nightmare scenario that could result from it. Embark on this sci-fi adventure, written by James Flynn, and you will gain a memory to be thankful for

As someone who reads in a multitude of genres, it was an absolute delight to discover author James Flynn and his art of storytelling. Many of his stories contain a blend of genres that made each story unique unto itself. Flynn has perfected the ability to snare you on the first page of the story, bringing you to the edge of your seat, heart pounding and keeping you perched there until you reach the end-Lezlie Smith, The Nerdy Narrative
