In class we learned about 2 writers, Harlan Ellison, and Philip K. When they are ready to implant the false memory, they find out that the memory that is about to be implanted, has actually happened to him. The new set of memories is supposed to be himself as a little kid that saves Earth by being nice to aliens. Quail tries to reason with them and comes up with a solution of implanting a new set of memories that would be strong enough to overwhelm his urge to want to go to Mars. The organization that he use to work for, sends people to kill him because he’s starting to remember and he knows too much. During the procedure of the implantation at Rekal, it was discovered that Quail had already been to Mars and is actually an undercover agent. Since he can’t afford to go there, he settles on getting false memories implanted into his head to make himself think that he has been to Mars. Dick, is about a man named Douglas Quail, who all of a sudden wants to go to Mars no matter what. The short story, “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” written by Philip K.
