This is the prelude novella to the Existence series, book 1 will be released later this month. I thought it was really cool that the author gives us this story first. Often when a prelude is written later into a series it feels like it's trying to fill the gaps. Remember is a complete story on it's own. It gives you hints as to what will come but it seems like there are so many ways in which the world is about to go to shit that you just don't quite know what way the author will choose.
This is a really tough book to review. It's well written, interesting and while it sets up the Existence series well, it is it's own complete story. Foster is an incredibly focused character, he is so determined to bring his creation to life that he misses out on the life going on around him, which made him frustrating. He is very smart, but so naïve in ways, that it leads to a whole heap of trouble.
I think that often in books the technology has already been invented and we wonder what the hell they were thinking. Here we are shown a chunk of the process and how different the intended use was from how it ended up. It seems like once money becomes involved all good intentions go out the window.
Overall Remember is a great little set up for the main series.
