The Memory Manifesto: How Memory in SF Explores the Concept of Personal Identity
One of the most debated philosophical questions is what makes up your personal identity or your understanding of the self. While your morals and ethics– as well as culture, hobbies, and interests– are all valid components of your identity, I would argue that your memories are at the core of your identity. This is because identity is essentially the accumulation of all your past experiences, which we can recall as memories. In this manifesto we will discuss how the exploration of memory in SF has helped shape the understanding of the self and personal identity.
