Revenge Of The Mutant Algorithms! Are Memories Made Of This? shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/11/reven

Strong play on the ideas that when we look back on our childhood we are a different person but unable to dissociate ourselves from our previous actions, and that we might in future be re-programmed to alleviate the harm but yet do more damage in the process.

The text focuses entirely on the neurology; it would be nice if it explored the different perceptions of a child and an adult: the child seeing their friend as a scruffy knock-about, the adult seeing a beautiful woman blossoming into a sexual object, with her own independent ideologies maturing.

But as it is, it is a short and intense dissection of a childhood-tormented mind, and an exploration of what might go right and wrong with future technology developed to interfere with our natural state. Leaves the reader with many thoughtful questions... a great read!
