Blake Crouch
Expected publication date: June 11, 2019
What if someone could rewrite your entire life?I loved Crouch's Dark Matter, so I'm very excited for another sci-fi story with a human touch!
"My son has been erased." Those are the last words the woman tells Barry Sutton, before she leaps from the Manhattan rooftop.
Deeply unnerved, Barry begins to investigate her death, only to learn that this wasn't an isolated case. All across the country, people are waking up to lives different from the ones they fell asleep to. Are they suffering from False Memory Syndrome, a mysterious new disease that afflicts people with vivid memories of a life they never lived? Or is something far more sinister behind the fracturing of reality all around him?
Miles away, neuroscientist Helena Smith is developing a technology that allows us to preserve our most intense memories and relive them. If she succeeds, anyone will be able to reexperience a first kiss, the birth of a child, the final moment with a dying parent.
Barry's search for the truth leads him on an impossible, astonishing journey as he discovers that Helena's work has yielded a terrifying gift--the ability not just to preserve memories but to remake them . . . at the risk of destroying what it means to be human.
At once a relentless thriller and an intricate science fiction puzzle box, Recursion is a deeply felt exploration of the flashbulb moments that define us--and who we are without them. - from Goodreads

DeleteI agree, Recursion sounds like it's gonna be great. I just found out today that Bryan Fagan's debut novel, Dempsey's Grill, is coming out in August. I love his witty, chatty story-telling, so I'm looking forward to his novel.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check that one out!
DeleteDark Matter was good, so this one might be one to read as well! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Wednesday Post
Thanks, Lisa!

ReplyDeleteI hope so, too!

DeleteI didn't read Dark Matter, but am so excited for Recursion. I have an ARC, but have been forcing myself to wait until a little closer to the publication date.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I wouldn't be able to wait!

Thank you, Mary!
DeleteOh, I've heard about this one! It's sounds like an intense read. Suspense isn't usually my thing, but I've been considering this one. Nice pick!

Thanks, Lindsi!
DeleteWhat the...!? This is such a weird sounding book but I'm kind of into it. I would worry about getting to sad over it just because people might be losing the ones they loved like the girl on the rooftop. I'll watch out for your review if you end up reading it and others.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adriana!
DeleteHow very intriguing! I haven't picked up Dark Matter, but it's always been one I've been curious about. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteDark Matter was so so good, so I have high expectations for this one!
