The human brain. A vital, complex, powerful organ. Controller of all body activities, it allows us to think, feel and act. Inside it, lies a compelling faculty: the Memory. A mysterious neurochemical process that is crucial to the human experience. Crucial, but far from being perfect. Memory has its flaws and pitfalls.
In this book we address the matter of uncertainty.

Is our memory reliable? Can our memory be altered? Can we protect our memory? These questions are investigated in the form of a scientific experiment, in which we try to find solutions to these problems in the realm of artifacts and materials. Which effects do artifacts have on the human memory? Can materiality be the key to repairing it?
