The present volume collects and annotates the material bearing on Mnemos Corporation and Metro Authority, with reference to the secondary structures that surround them.
The framing that guided the work: Academic in-world paper on the history of memory trading: regulation framework, Mnemos founding, underground market. Written like a Metro University monograph.
The dominant force in legal memory trading, controlling 70% of the global market.
Founded by Marcus Hale 25 years ago. Publicly a technology company focused on "preserving human experience." Privately, a machine for acquiring power through control of humanity's memories.
The city government and its enforcement arm.
Officially tasked with regulating the memory trade, maintaining order, and protecting citizens. In practice, riddled with corruption at every level.
What the preceding pages establish — if they establish anything — is that the material refuses to cohere into a single voice. The reader is referred to the underlying dossiers for the raw record.
