About Memory Piece by Lisa Ko
Beginning in the early 1980s, Memory Piece follows Giselle Chin, Jackie Ong, and Ellen Ng, three teenagers who bond over feeling out of place and imagining creative lives together. As adults, their paths lead into performance art, early internet culture, and community activism in New York City.
Spanning the 1980s, the art and tech subcultures of the 1990s, and an imagined 2040s, the novel tracks how friendship and ideas of success shift over time. It considers the internet’s promise and its turn toward monetization and surveillance, alongside gentrification and policing in a New York neighborhood. A fit for readers interested in literary and historical fiction, queer stories, technology, and changing urban communities.
