A review by nicklindgren
Forest of Memory by Mary Robinette Kowal

4.0

An engaging sci-fi novella about a dealer in Authenticities (non-reproduction objects) and Captures (audio/visual files of experiences) who gets cut off from all network services, as well as the personal AI that she has come to rely on. The story has been written on the typewriter she found during her time off the grid. The world-building is immersive without drowning out the story, and the book as a whole is a charming meditation on the reality of things remembered, forgotten, and documented.

And like most good novellas, I wish it was much longer.
