Line 16:
* ''[[Kaiba]]'' takes this trope on front and center. Only the privileged can afford effective memory treatment, and on many planets the poor sell their good memories (and sometimes bodies) to make ends meet. We're introduced early on via newscast to a group of known terrorists who sabotage memory treatment facilities, but little is elaborated on that topic until {{spoiler|about halfway through Kaiba visits a memory theme park. When it closes down, several memories scream to be taken out of their misery as they're forced to remain in a state of not-quite-life-or-death. The elderly patrons Kaiba was with just thought it was [[All Part of the Show]]}}.
* In ''[[The Big O]],'' memories are a [[MacGuffin]].
* In ''[[Baccano!]]'', immortals can transfer memories to other immortals by placing their right hand on the recipient's head and willing it. Of course, since this is ''also'' the method immortals use to ''kill'' each other (the only difference being what you think when you're doing it), most potential recipients aren't willing to take the risk.
* One of the Genei Ryudan in ''[[Hunter X Hunter]]'' can copy her memories into bullets, and then transfer those memories to other people by shooting them in the head (Memory bullets don't inflict physical injuries).
* Tsukimiya from ''[[Bloody Cross]]'' is a [[Dhampyr]] who can read people's memories by drinking their blood.
Line 54:
** Also, slayers inherit memories of previous slayers, albeit through dreams.
* ''[[Dollhouse]]'' A very central concept, along with the ability to transfer and back up etc personalities.
* The third episode of ''[[Black Mirror (TV series)|Black Mirror]]'' focuses around a device called a Grain. It records memories and is capable or replay with all kinds of features like zoom, crop, reconstruction. You can also share memories with people and there is a black market for people's grains.
* A planet visited in one of the last 2 seasons of [[Stargate SG-1]] developed a device that allowed memories to be copied form one individual and transferred to another to another, but not altering existing memories or outright deleting them.
