Young adult dystopia in which bad memories can be erased by going to a Therapeutic Forgetting Center and taking a pill designed to eliminate a specific memory. A young woman chooses not to have a memory erased, and she and others who have made the same choice publish a book of memories. They are then threatened with having all their memories erased. The first volume in a series. The second volume, The Forgetting Curve. Tarrytown, NY: Marshall Cavendish, 2012, is a standard middle volume, with things getting worse. The final volume is The Meme Plague. Las Vegas, NV: Skyscape, 2013, and in it people fight back against the dystopia, but it is not clear at the end if they have won or not.
