“I myself alone have more memories than those held by all humankind since the beginning of the world.” Thus speaks Irineo Funes, the main character of one of the most famous stories by the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges: “Funes, the Memorious” (1942).
Bedridden due to an accident, he suffered from hypermnesia, a rare condition that allows the person to remember with great accuracy everything he/she has lived. In the author’s words: “Twice or thrice had he reconstructed an entire day; with not one doubt, but each reconstruction had required an entire day.”
