About this listen
'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.

'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

Which is odd, because it's absolutely brilliant.
Absolutely amazing

The narration was excellent and I suspect that this story is probably easier to follow as an audiobooks than in print ... the idea of being able to record and even change memories is intriguing but is not explored in any real depth because the story is essentially a thriller ... even so, I enjoyed it and will try other books by this author.
Interesting premise

Helena and Barry are great leads and the story, whilst obviously scientifically nonsense asks great questions of about the rights and wrongs of changing the past to improve the future and the implications of creating something which could potentially devastate the world.
In short, I think this may be one of my favourite books I have ever read or had read to me.

But WOAH. Not for one second did I think it would be the best thing I’d ever read.
It took a while to get going and gel my senses to the characters and voice actors, but once I was there and the story started sprawling it just got better and better and better.
Thank you, Blake Crouch for introducing a time travel element of sci fi that is better than any that’s preceded it.
Best book I’ve ever read. Like a Nolan movie
