2009: Lost Memories

What if the Japanese Empire had emerged victorious in World War II and maintained their hegemony in East Asia until the present day? Such is the idea behind 2009: Lost Memories, a sci-fi uchronia that rewrites the past and reimagines the future to comment on Korea's present. The year is 2009, and the Empire of Japan has been in control of the Korean peninsula ever since the failed assassination of Itō Hirobumi led to the Japanese and the Americans joining forces during the Second World War. Masayuki Sakamoto, a Japanese special agent of Korean descent, is tasked to investigate the Korean terrorist group Hureisenjin, who recently attempted to steal the Lunar Soul, a precious historical artifact, from a museum in Seoul. But Sakamoto's investigation into the relic and the reasons behind Hureisejin's attempted theft will uncover an Earth-shattering revelation that will forever alter his sense of reality. Monumentally ambitious and grand in scope, 2009: Lost Memories is a hard-hitting sci-fi technothriller packed with explosive action and nerve-shredding suspense.
