Julia Shaw is a senior lecturer and researcher in the Department of Law and Social Sciences at London South Bank University, where she teaches classes on criminology and psychology.

She likes to call herself a “memory hacker” because she can implant false memories in people’s minds through using elaborate experiments.
- Our memories are not as reliable as we believe; they are often reconstructed rather than replayed. This means that our recollections can be influenced by suggestions, emotions, and context, leading us to believe in false memories.
- The book discusses how confidence in our memories is frequently misguided, as we may remember events that never happened. Shaw emphasizes the importance of understanding the malleability of memory, especially in legal contexts where eyewitness testimonies can be unreliable.
- Shaw explores the concept of 'memory implantation,' where false details can be introduced, leading individuals to recall inaccurate events. This highlights the psychological mechanisms behind memory formation and the implications for both personal identity and public perception.
