| Summary |
"Forget Me Nearly" by F. L. Wallace is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. It explores themes of identity, memory, and the consequences of advanced technology in a future society where individuals can have their memories altered or erased entirely through the use of a retrogression gun. The story delves into the moral implications of such technology and the human desire for self-discovery and connection. The narrative follows a man who, after being retrogressed, finds himself devoid of his past and struggling to regain his identity. He adopts the name Luis Obispo as he navigates the complexities of his new life and unwittingly encounters a woman, Luise Obispo, who shares an unsettling connection with him. As he unravels the mystery of his retrogression, he learns about a sinister figure, Dorn Starret, who was involved in his and Luise's past. Through his quest for the truth, he faces challenges from those who wish to keep the past hidden and grapples with ethical dilemmas surrounding memory manipulation. The story culminates in revelations that lead Luis to confront the duality of his existence and the choices he must make to forge a new path. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
