    Crouch’s best sci-fi so far. Incredible in the best meaning of the word.
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2019*

RECURSION is an outstanding hard sci-fi novel from Blake Crouch.  I decided to re-read Crouch's penultimate novel, DARK MATTER (2016), before RECURSION because I had a hunch that there might be some relation between the two. I’m glad I did. I raised my rating from 4 to 5 stars upon the re-read and realized that Crouch is right up there with the very best of the current generation of hard sci-fi authors.I’ve been reading Crouch for a long while. His earlier works were masterpieces of horror, often with no little or supernatural aspects (try ABANDON, for example).  RECURSION is solid sci-fi dealing with such heady topics (heh heh) as the nature of memory, neuroscience, time, physics, philosophy and more. It starts with a plague of FMS, “False Memory Syndrome”, as one of the main protagonists, NYPD cop Barry Sutton is called to the scene of an impending suicide who suddenly remembers a totally different life than the one she is living.  This FMS seems to be becoming something of a plague, and the number of suicides is rapidly rising.  The novel explodes forwards from there. The other principal, Helena Smith, is a neuroscientist working on the neurophysiology of memory, in large part to try and build a device that could record her mid-stage Alzheimer's Disease mother's memories before they disappear forever. The sequela of her invention has implications that question our concepts of time, reality, the multiverse and more. I could not put the novel down, and read the whole thing in about 24 hours with 8 or so hours of sleep intercalated.Most Highly Recommended.JMps.  In response to a really mean-spirited one star review that destroyed that science in the novel, I’d like to admit that I am a Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience at Rutgers and I thought ALL of the science and philosophy was spot on and very timely.

    Is now real?
  

*by C***H on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2019*

This book. This wonderful book. This wonderful, mesmerizing, highly entertaining book. I’ve been existing in a daze since I finished “Recursion” yesterday. Read it in one long reading marathon.  If you remember how you felt after seeing “The Matrix”, when suddenly everything strange in the world made sense, you’re going to love the insight you’ll receive from this story. I don’t know if Blake is only impossibly gifted, or if he knows something the rest of us don’t (I’m suspecting both are true), but this guy writes with conviction. His skill at writing is exceptional, but it’s the characters that come to life under his pen that you’ll remember. Flawed, haunted, grieving both personally and for the world, the two main characters are folks you’d like to know, people you would hang with. People who step up to the plate and never tire of trying to knock it out of the park.  The supporting cast is just as memorable and important to the tale, and come alive within the pages. You absolutely cannot go wrong buying this book. You will be highly entertained, but more importantly the concept will make you think, and maybe even open up some new neural pathways in that brain of yours. Go for it. You absolutely will not be sorry.

    Ridiculously predictable and nothing new
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2019*

I realize sci-fi is speculative fiction, but this story borders on the ridiculous. The entire premise of the book is so far from scientifically sound as to be preposterous. The characters are more simulacra of real human beings. The action is boring. The romance contrived. The only thing this book has that is moderately redeeming is that, of this technology ever did exist, it would be grossly misused and abused by those in power. This, however, is an old hack (Stephenson did the same thing in D.O.D.O last year). In short, there is nothing new, interesting, or even thought-provoking here. Move on to something more worthy of your time.
