The Candy House by Jennifer Egan
If you could access every memory you've ever had and interact with the intimate details of other people's memories, would you want to?
The Candy House presents a Black Mirror-esque concept developed by Bix Boulton, a hot-shot tech entrepreneur. To participate, all you have to do is upload every memory and emotion you ever had or felt into a convenient and sleek "Own Your Unconscious" box. Once your memories are uploaded, you can - of course - further upload your entire consciousness to the "Collective Consciousness," a not-at-all-intrusive program that allows you to access the memories of every other person who has chosen to do the same. If this isn't your choice of brunch cocktail, you could also give up your entire life and go off-grid to become an Eluder.
