Lost Glory by Peter Menadue

5.0

Glen Tucker is a homicide detective working in Washington DC in a future where the job is made easy by the ability to read people's memories. If you are connected with the victim, your memory will be audited to reveal your innocence or guilt. All very simple and easy. But with every technology that is made with good intentions, there is a dark side and here the ability to delete a memory also exists. Glen begins to think that the person who he strongly believes is responsible for a murder, but has no memory of it, may have had his memory of the event deleted. Things get even more complicated when his partner is murdered.

Although this is a novella, it makes you think, about the abuse of power and how things that are made with good intentions, can have very bad side effects. People should think more about the side effects and not just the good things can do.
