Review: Recursion

Recursion Recursion by Blake Crouch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Recursion by Blake Crouch goes by fast but is not light reading.  If you could go back and vividly relive a memory, would you?  What if you could go back to that memory and relive your life from that point?  Would you still do it?  People often think that sounds like a grand idea, but Recursion explores the consequences.  Recursion works on the premise that time is not linear.  It is a lot to wrap your brain around.  But if this kind of stuff interests you, than you know it is also not entirely a fictional idea either.  The concepts of false memories as explored in Recursion have already been done to mice.  We just haven't figured out how to make it work for people yet.  After reading Recursion, I think maybe we should quit while we are ahead.
