I highly recommend the RadioLab podcast. One of their latest shows is about memory. Our memories can now be manipulated in almost every imaginable way. There is a drug that can make us selectively and partially forget our memories, almost exactly like in the film Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind! Adding or changing memories is also possible, and that doesn't even require anything more high tech. thank skillful suggestion.
The most poignant moment is about the man without a memory. His memory was almost completely destroyed by an infection. The only things he can still remember are how to play the piano and the love he feels for his wife...
