Waiting on Wednesday: The Meme Plague by Angie Smibert


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:








The Meme Plague
by Angie Smibert
Publication Date: August 13, 2013
Published by Skyscape










(from angiesmibert.com)

It begins with the name JONAS W. on the side of a cardboard coffin—right before the funeral procession blows up. Then it’s the whisper in the back of Micah’s head: Your father betrayed his country. You can’t always trust your own brain. Not when you have one of the mayor’s mandatory chips in your skull. Micah knows that the chip developed by TFC (the corporation that runs the Therapeutic Forgetting Clinics) does more than just erase unpleasant memories—it implants new ones. The MemeCast warns citizens to “fight the hack.”

Micah and his friends have each lost something—a parent, a relationship, a home, maybe even their own identities as they remembered them to be. But together, they can make sure some things are never forgotten.

Election Day is coming, and Mayor Mignon is set to be elected to Congress. It’s time to build a new electronic frontier, one that’s not controlled by the mayor and his cronies. It’s time to get out the vote and shake up the system. It’s time to finally say enough.

Why I'm Waiting:

It seems 2013 is the year of the series finale and The Meme Plague is the final book of the Memento Nora trilogy.  I read and reviewed the previous two books and I need to know how this story ends!

    1. This is series is a quick read. I do recommend to read all of the books one right after the other. I wish I would have done that with the first two.

      Thanks for stopping by.

    1. I hadn't heard much about the 3rd book but I think that is because it is with a new publisher. So when I saw the update on the author's website it made me happy to get some new info.
