Deleted
by Ruth Mitchell
Genre: YA Speculative
Lucy Campbell is the last person you'd expect to hack minds. The college freshman prefers vintage
technology, old books and retro fashion. But when she makes a fool of herself in front of her crush,
Marco Han, she wishes she could erase the whole episode from his brilliant mind. She's shocked to learn
that her older sister, Mollie, can do just that.
Mollie tells Lucy she's found a way to delete people's memories via Spex, the thought-activated
successor to smart phones and Google Glass. Yet, when Mollie breaks into Marco's mind, she decides
not to erase any embarrassing moments because he already has a crush on Lucy. Encouraged by her
sister's discovery, Lucy stops avoiding Marco. Soon, the two are dating, and Marco, a tech guru in his
own right, elevates Mollie's mind hacking from a guilty pleasure to an efficient crime-solving tool.
As the three infiltrate more minds, they realize they're not the only ones who can steal memories. Marco
suddenly forgets Lucy; and Mollie forgets that she could ever mind hack. Lucy's mind should be safe
because she doesn't wear Spex. But then the mysterious hacker, Nick Lethe, comes after her in person.
Lucy flees to the woods, the only place safe from the surveillance of the ubiquitous Spex. If Nick finds
her, he'll erase her memories or worse. If she doesn't find him --and stop him -- no one will know that
minds can be hacked and lives rewritten.
