"These Memories Do Not Belong to Us is set in a distant future ruled by the Qin Empire, where every citizen is implanted with a Mindbank — a device that records and transmits memories between minds. When the narrator's mother dies suddenly, he inherits her forbidden memories and sets out to release them before they're erased forever — even if it costs him his life.


These Memories Do Not Belong to Us is available August 12. 


Yiming Ma is a Shanghai-born writer who divides his time between Toronto and Seattle. His stories and essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, Literary Hub and Hazlitt.
