Recursion by Blake Crouch

Recursion

by Blake Crouch

A breathtaking exploration of memory and what it means to be human, Recursion is the follow-up novel to the smash-hit thriller, Dark Matter, by Blake Crouch.

'Recursion takes mind-twisting premises and embeds them in a deeply emotional story about time and loss and grief and most of all, the glory of the human heart' - Gregg Hurwitz, author of Orphan X

At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived.

But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shockwave, unleashed by a stunning discovery – and what’s in jeopardy is not just our minds.

In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth – and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery . . . and the tools for fighting back.

Together, Barry and Helena will have to confront their enemy – before they, and the world, are trapped in a loop of ever-growing chaos.

'A fantastic read' – Andy Weir, author of The Martian.

OK I guess I have found my favorite read of 2019?? OMG!

When you think things are crazier/bad enough, it goes BEYOND.
Well, I say the same about Dark Matter but I found that this one is solid from the very start while Dark Matter takes a while to truly get going.
Blake Crouch's writing is just so good.

I think I put this book down for 2 days because I didn't want it to end. Lol

Anyway, Blake Crouch is awesome. Recursion is awesome. Read it.
