Memory as the basis of social and individual identity in the story “Sketches Among the Ruins of My Mind” by Philip José Farmer
Author’s biography
He is best known for his Riverworld series (which follows the adventures of diverse characters through a bizarre afterlife) and for the World of Tiers series (set within a number of parallel universes).
