Revivees wake up with the memories they went to sleep with, but a great many of them have a growing conviction that they are the wrong person. For some this “dysidentity disorder” is acute and distressing, for others, merely a curiosity that they live with. All seem to have it to some extent. Nobody knows why.
Would seem to imply memories don’t make up who you are—I mean, what I’m inclined to read into it is “there are souls and they got moved around”, but it could be anything—in which case, if there’s a way to cause myself amnesia (and with this level tech why wouldn’t there be?) I should just wipe out my memories and find out who I am. Ideally it’ll also be possible to save the memories in backups somehow, or I’ll have “external memory” like diaries and such, in case I start regretting the decision.
