Pretty cool short about someone getting their drug fix in the future….if thats what it is haha. I like it though, a lot for the imagination

Very cool. Reminiscent of the best parts of Strange Days, Minority Report, Ghost in the Shell:SAC and The Final Cut.

Awesome descriptions of augmented reality…I especially love the brown bag icon!

I loved it! the robotic people in the future get their high off of our memories. I like your new word memoraphilia…I guess that makes him a memoraphiliac.

This is rly awesome! Love this – hope you expand or do more pieces. Title is perfect. It does also remind me of dsytopia films/novels, in a good way.

1 small question: wondering if it should be that the dealer “uploads”… or your narrator “downloads”… i’m sure things are more straightforward in the future tho :D

Thanks everyone, it’s great to see that this story has been so well received. I’ll definitely try to do more in this style soon.

That sounds worse than drugs. Someone else’s memories could really mess with you, I think. Creepy. So good job. I want more.

I love this.
Call me sick but when I first read it through I thought this was some futuristic world where porn was amazingly hard to get.
This future scares me…

I love the feel of this. Very Bladerunner-esque. The scary thing is….I think the way the world is obsessed with technology, this could very well happen! Good writing!

Nice work. There is a Fringe episode that had a similar idea but I love your cyberpunk tone. Reminds me of my favorite parts of Snowcrash.

Wow – drugs taken to the next level – instead of not only ignoring your own life, you also steal someone else’s.

Wow! Excellent little tale, and it ties into the sequel brilliantly. Memories being bought/sold like drugs on the black market. I don’t think I’ve seen that SF concept used in such a way before.
Really nice idea, told very well.

This is a really though-intriguing story, and more than a little sinister. Great job.
