The Consciousness Plague is about memory, more particularly, how the loss of memory, in slivers of time deducted from a growing number of individuals, can subtly undermine and play havoc with everything from the investigation of serial stranglings to candlelight dinners. Dr. D'Amato, NYPD forensic detective, investigates a spate of unusual cases of memory loss and finds evidence of a bacteria-like organism that has lived in our brains since our origin as a species and may be responsible for our very consciousness. There's evidence for this consciousness bug in the ancient Phoenician and Viking cultures and everywhere Phil looks in our world. A new antibiotic crosses the blood-brain barrier and inadvertently kills this essential bug. Phil himself becomes a victim of the memory drain, and must struggle to get the proper authorities to pay attention before everyone loses so much memory that they forget that they forgot in the first place. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Police|vFiction. 650 0 Memory disorders|vFiction. 655 7 Mystery fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Science fiction.|2gsafd 700 1 Shanahan, Mark.|4nrt 710 2 hoopla digital. 800 1 Levinson, Paul.|tPhil D'Amato.|sSpoken word ;|vbk. 2 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11002047?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ lla_9781593163174_180.jpeg
