Recursion: A Novel

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 shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery—and what’s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself. 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.

After that I did find that it got tedious and frustrating (which may have been the point) but I do feel like it could have been shortened.
Definitely a mind bender in a fun way, but you also canât think about it TOO much or your brain will hurt. Some things just donât add up and get too hard to follow. I liked the initial scientific jargon but it did get to be a bit far fetched by the end, even for science fiction.
Overall, an interesting concept that had some cool moments and ones that really made you think about the concept or time and memory, but I would have liked it to be a bit shorter.
