520    "Three Asian American teenagers meet in the New York 
       suburbs in the 1980s. Drawn together by their shared sense
       of alienation from their conventionally domestic immigrant
       families, each wants to live a meaningful life. They 
       envision a future defined by freedom and creativity, but 
       on the brink of adulthood in New York City, their fortunes
       quickly diverge. Giselle Chin is a performance artist, 
       pushing the boundaries of the form while socializing with 
       the city's artistic and financial elite. Jackie Ong works 
       at tech start-ups during the early dotcom era, as the 
       internet's egalitarian promise is tested against its 
       rampant monetization. Ellen Ng, a community activist, 
       fights against gentrification overwhelming the city's 
       neighborhoods. Their chosen paths separate them, but their
       friendship sustains and challenges them across huge 
       divides of class, status, and worldview. Decades later, 
       their sense of what is possible has changed, mutating 
       against the hardscrabble realities of work and love. 
       Moving from the 1980s to the 2040s, spanning multiple eras
       of a changing New York City, Memory Piece explores the 
       roles of art, friendship, and creativity in self-
       preservation, chronicling three women as they strive to 
       find value in a radically different world than the one 
       they were promised. Ambitious, visionary, and 
       intellectually playful, Memory Piece asks how we define a 
       good life, individually and collectively, and 
       understanding what we do about the direction our society 
       is headed-where do we go from here?"--|cProvided by
