We all know like Google, Microsoft, whoever will tell you. Yeah, your data is not personally identifiable and nobody can trace it back to you, but there's stuff. Well, there's tricks. It doesn't make me curious about finding the memories, like two people's memories of the same event. But then you can also like triangulate people in time. If enough like say you and I uploaded our memories into the collective consciousness, right? And then if someone was looking for someone that you and I had like gone out for a beer with, like they could access that and see that person.
It only took 500-or-so episodes to revisit the world of Egan's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel A Visit from the Goon Squad. We did, of course, have to wait for Egan to write her sequel (sort of) novel. This follow-up to a post-postmodern classic is focused on memories (digital and otherwise) and relationships (virtual and otherwise). It's got "what if the Meta but for everyone's memories" okay??
