ABOUT THE STORY

A human law enforcer on an alien-colonized Earth tracks down insurgents, offering humans who have committed crimes the chance to be “reborn” by erasing memories of their actions. But what has he forgotten since he was reborn? Are you what you do, or are you what you remember?

This story appears in Liu’s latest story collection “The Hidden Girl and Other Stories” and available to read online.
