Ehh I wrote this thing in like ten minutes and I’m a bad writer so this is what you get Five years ago, citizens all around the corporation took part on a technological revolution: the human brain was not longer restrained by “forgetting”. Thanks to a new technology, it soon could archive all the information the user had space for. Never forgetting… unless you wanted to. Memory erasing technology was obviously necessary: both for space management and avoiding -test subjects- happy consumers from -going insane- inadequate use of the archives. Maximum privacy was guaranteed, and even if it wasn’t, who cares? People without perfect memory were soon out of jobs, out of cities, out of society. You had to adapt to survive. Of course, people started to use memory erases frivolously. A trend of abandoning all your memories mid-life and starting over started growing, leading to a high number of hospitalizations. After that the private enterprises controlling the erasing became one big, government controlled organism, with the excuse that they would do anything for money.
Criminals will have all their bad, criminal memories erased. Thank the governor for your rations today, and you will get them. Tomorrow as well (maybe)
