The Memory Mule
In a future ravaged by drought and desert storms, where humans are forced to cower in sheltered cities and many technologies have long since collapsed, memories have become valued merchandise. In the murky margins of the black market, couriers - called mules - are charged with smuggling memories across desolate landscapes to dispersed settlements. The Memory Mule, a novel of ~90,00 words, is a collection of tales which probe this dystopian future.
The main narrative - developed along four central arcs - focuses on the story of a grieving mule as he negotiates a tenuous existence inside and outside of the walls; tasked with carrying the memories of others, he is haunted by the echoes of memories he has traded away in exchange. Intermingled are tales of other denizens of this broken world - religious zealots, assassins, rogue scientists and trashmen amongst them.
​
A melding of Black Mirror style conundrums written in the serial manner of Canterbury Tales and Hyperion, The Memory Mule reflects on the arcane power of memory to reign over the past, present and future and probes the prospect of technologies to transform memories into tradable assets.
