The library of traumatic memory By Neil Jordan

The Library of Traumatic Memory is Neil Jordan’s literary science-fiction novel, set in 2084. Christian Cartwright works as a librarian at the Huxley Institute, where he archives humanity’s most painful memories.

When Christian’s lover Isolde dies in a mysterious car accident, he secretly resurrects her as a digital consciousness. His attempt to overcome grief draws him into a deeper conspiracy involving edited memories, harvested dreams, digital resurrection and his eighteenth-century ancestor, whose connection to the Huxley Mansion may reveal a strange relationship between architecture, time and reality.
