Description
In 1998, Microsoft computer scientists Gordon Bell and Jim Gemmel began a herculean attempt to record Bell's entire life digitally. Not only did they document every particle of his ongoing existence; they also incorporated a digital record of his past, including letters, records, photos, and memorabilia. Not surprisingly, their monumental, technologically sophisticated project attracted widespread media attention on- and offline. Total Recall not only recapitulates the wide parameters of MyLifeBits; it also explains the very real implications of digital memory breakthroughs that in coming years will affect every aspect of human health, history, and behavior.
