Memory Wall

By a convoluted path, memory tapes from an aging wealthy white female help a dying African youth give a new life to a struggling African family.

The mystery of figuring out what was going on made an intriguing beginning but the story became more common (and able to be set in the current time) as it progressed.

Book description
Because it seemed important to know in advance, we've dedicated Issue 32 to an investigation of the world to come—near-future stories written by the likes of Anthony Doerr, Heidi Julavits, Wells Tower, Chris Adrian, and Salvador Plascencia, each of 'em unearthing a different corner of life in the year 2024. This will be, we are sure, way more entertaining than waiting fifteen years for the real thing.

A paper-over-board printing that wraps around on the end papers and checks in at a whopping 2 lbs!
