When artificial memories are everywhere, how can you tell what's real? Daniel was a hotshot memorysmith, a major innovator in the field of recreational memories-until his father, Big Dan, suffered a freak persistent memory that sent their business into a tailspin. Now Daniel labors behind the scenes, seeking only to cure the persistent false memory and salvage their failing shop. Elijah is the most talented mind in the memory industry, but because that mind is far from neurotypical, his potential is wasted teaching beginners at the mall. When his cobbled-together gear projects him into one of Daniel's memory programs, a colorful but challenging relationship sparks to life. The two men are an unlikely pair, but they have so much in common. Each is fiercely driven. Each is stunningly creative. And when Daniel and Elijah finally connect, each one realizes just how desperately he's been searching for someone who truly understands him. Most of all, they're utterly committed to curing the persistent false memory. Daniel finally gives up his workaholic smokescreen. Elijah fends off the advice of everyone he trusts and joins forces with Daniel. Even Big Dan says he's on board with their plan…but will he remember tomorrow? This collection contains the novels The Persistence of Memory, Forget Me Not, and Life is Awesome.
