The Sudden Appearance of Hope by Claire North

5.0

It feels very much near future now, with the contemp paranoia of old-fashioned cyberpunk. Only instead of plugging in, it's all apps, etc. I liked the layer of the inability of Hope to be remembered. When it came up, various difficulties in her life were thought-out. However, the story as a whole is something else- the memory bit both a way to advance the story and motivation, giving this story a much more well-rounded feel than either one alone. More of a heist thriller than SFF except for the way Hope can't be remembered.
