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 he looks in our world." A
new antibiotic crosses the blood-brain barrier and
inadvertently kills this essential bug. Phil himself is 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.
