The Memory Engine Gary Walkden

To live, is to re-live... The Memory Engine - a device which allows you to explore past locations and events through the amalgamated memories of people who were actually there at the time. It represents a way to revisit your past via computer-generated, photo-realistic reconstructions of your own memories. All this from within an advanced virtual reality headset. That's all well and good, but when Evan Turner is asked to test the Memory Engine before its official release, his life begins to fall apart. He could probably deal with that - if it wasn't for his own ineptitude and social awkwardness that is. After a series of bizarre attacks on a huge virtual world known as 'Opalia', Evan is forced to use the Memory Engine and explore the past in order to bring the perpetrators to justice. But could relying on memories prove to be a mistake?
