Welcome to Forever

Written by Nathan Tavares

Narrated by Neil Shah

Fox is a memory editor—one of the best—gifted in the art of creating real life in the digital world. When he wakes up in the Field of Reeds Center for Memory Recovery, the therapists tell him he was victim of a terrorist bombing by Khadija Banks, the pioneer of memory editing turned revolutionary.
A bombing which shredded the memory archives of all its victims, including his husband Gabe.

Thrust into fragments of memories that survived the blast, Fox struggles to rebuild himself and grieve for a man he can’t remember. But his shattered past is unreliable and unfamiliar, echoing itself over and over: his life as a refugee, a memory editor, a loving husband, a man at the center of it all.

The world is tearing itself apart to try and forget its sadness, and as Khadija fights for the soul of humanity, Fox races to save Gabe’s—because saving the man he loves might be the key to saving us all.

"A work of artistic maturity, dazzling imagination and a horrible sense of foresight over what might come to pass."—Chris McCrudden, author of Battlestar Suburbia
