About this ebook

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

A compulsive, breathtaking exploration of memory and what it means to be human, Recursion is a mind-bending thriller from the author of Dark Matter, Blake Crouch.

* * *

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.

Wow. What an experience. After reading Dark Matter I thought it couldn't get better, but then Recursion came along and exceeded my expectations. I was hooked all the way through and I loved how it's a book which not only entertains but also makes you think about what it would be like to have the opportunity to relive experiences and moments and whether it would be worth it with the possible consequences that come with it. An absolutely thrilling read and I would highly recommend it.
