Industry veteran and AI thought leader Heath Morgan has launched a Kickstarter campaign for his upcoming science fiction novel, The Memory Project, a provocative exploration of AI, cognitive liberty, and the future of memory itself.
Set in the fractured world of 2085, where human writing is outlawed, memories can be rewritten, and conversational time travel is real, The Memory Project imagines a near-future shaped by brain-computer interfaces, generative AI personas, and surveillance-driven governance. At the center of the story is Commodore, a popular content creator caught in a battle between a human population that embraces emerging technology and data collection and the World Human AI Governance Board, who wants to reprogram the population’s collective memory under the guise of preserving mankind.
Morgan, who has spent the past three years researching AI’s impact on cybersecurity, privacy, and identity in the ARM industry, uses fiction to raise urgent questions: What happens when memories are no longer private? Who controls the past when it’s stored as data? And what does freedom look like in a world where every thought can be traced?
“This book is about the fight to preserve our ability to remember, and to forget, on our own terms,” Morgan said.
In a nod to the book’s central theme, “Legacy isn’t what you leave behind. It’s what they let you keep,” the Kickstarter campaign offers backers a chance to name a character in the novel, from side roles to major figures with dialogue, creating a lasting tribute to themselves or a loved one. Additional rewards include signed first editions, behind-the-scenes content, and augmented reality experiences that extend the story beyond the page.
The Kickstarter campaign is now live.
