Recursion - Book Review
Recursion, by Blake Crouch, is a SF novel.
I find it a little hard to talk about it without spoiling. What I knew coming in, is that suddenly people started having false memories of whole other lives. A cop starts investigating and discovers it is much more than it seems (which should be obvious to most SF readers, although the particularly mechanism seems novel enough).
I pretty much loved it, and it was one of the fastest books I've finished lately.
Maybe it is too much of a giveaway, but it strongly reminded me of Ripples in the Dirac Sea, a short story that won the 1989 Nebule prize, and that is so haunting that I immediately remembered it even though it has been 30 years since I last read it.
Overall, strongly recommended to any SF fans.
