I read some articles about brainwashing techniques and the creation of a "Manchurian candidate". The implanting of false memories is one key aspect of it. In in (very) minor form this is how our media are working. Sometimes (not so often) I don't know, if I had experienced something by myself or only got it from media reception. So, this topic is not so far fetched. - But it's scary as hell, if you think about it. It reminds me of "Total Recall".
