Carol of Carol’s Notebook reviewed this story back in February. It sounded like a strange story but her review made me interested enough to read it.
The Millennium Partyis a kind of dystopian type story about a couple, Darien and Clarisse sharing their 1000th year wedding anniversary. In the future, people will be able to switch parts of their brain to fit every occasion. Since this is suppose to be a joyous occasion, Darien switches to his brain labeled, “Clarisse/Passion, the brain that contained memories of his time with his wife.” It only contains good memories with love and passion.
The party seemed perfect in every way. The next morning Darien switched his brain again to do some work. He put Clarisse/Passion back on the shelf, where it would stay until the following anniversary.
This is a very short story of less than four pages. It would be a great story for discussion about the brain and how we are all the sum of all of our parts, not just part of our parts. You can read it at The Infinite Matrix.
