Technology blurs the line between reality and artificiality from "summary" of You Will Never Be Forgotten by Mary South
In a world where technology plays an ever-increasing role in our lives, the line between reality and artificiality becomes increasingly blurred. This is evident in the way we interact with technology on a daily basis, from social media to virtual reality simulations. One of the central themes in "You Will Never Be Forgotten" is the impact of technology on our understanding of what is real and what is artificial. The stories in the collection explore how technology has the power to shape our perceptions of reality, often in unexpected and unsettling ways.
For example, in the story "The Age of Love," a woman creates a digital replica of her deceased husband, blurring the line between the real and the artificial. The story raises questions about the nature of memory and identity in a world where technology allows us to recreate and manipulate the past.
Similarly, in "Not Setsuko," a woman becomes obsessed with a virtual reality game that allows her to inhabit the body of a young girl. As she becomes more engrossed in the game, she begins to lose touch with reality, raising questions about the boundaries between the virtual world and the real world.
Throughout the collection, technology is portrayed as a powerful force that has the ability to shape our perceptions of reality in profound ways. The stories remind us that as we become increasingly reliant on technology, we must also grapple with the consequences of blurring the line between what is real and what is artificial.
