"Recursion," a novel by Blake Crouch, explores the intersection of memory, time, and reality through a gripping science fiction narrative. The story follows the journey of a detective and a woman whose lives become intertwined through a mysterious phenomenon known as "memory editing."

As individuals grapple with the ability to alter their pasts, they find themselves confronted by the profound implications it has on identity and the nature of existence.
The central characters, including the detective Barry Sutton and the vibrant artist Lydia, face a world where memories can be manipulated, leading to questions about the authenticity of experiences and the weight of the past. As they delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding memory editing, they uncover a larger conspiracy that threatens not just their lives but the very fabric of reality. Crouch expertly weaves a tale that combines thrilling suspense with philosophical queries, keeping readers engaged with its fast-paced plot and thought-provoking themes.
