As soon as I saw Blake Crouch’s name, I scooped this book up. As a huge fan of Dark Matter, I knew I was in for a treat. In his newest, Crouch quickly reveals the cause of the ‘fake memories’ that are plaguing the population, but the twists and thrills just keep coming. I haven’t been this satisfied with a book in a long time. Hitting and exceeding all of my expectations, this one will be hard to beat as my favorite book of the year.
June 2019 Indie Next List
This book felt like science fiction/mystery at the beginning, but turned into psychological thriller. Like a roller coaster, it was a slow ride up the hill and then a quick drop into a Groundhog Day from hell. Barry starts investigating False Memory Syndrome, while Helena works towards finding a way to save memories for people like her mother, who has Alzheimer’s. The line between what is real and what is memory blurs, and humanity may not be able to handle it.

Description
UN VERTIGINOSO THRILLER SOBRE EL TIEMPO, LA IDENTIDAD Y LA MEMORIA.
Parecía ser una enfermedad. Una epidemia que se esparce sin que sepamos cómo y que vuelve locas a sus víctimas con recuerdos de una vida ajena. Pero la fuerza que está avasallando al mundo no es un patógeno. Es apenas una primera ola provocada por un sorprendente descubrimiento. Y lo que está en juego no es nuestra salud mental, sino el tejido mismo del tiempo.
En Nueva York, el detective Barry Sutton está a punto de descubrir la verdad. Y en un laboratorio remoto, la neurocientífica Helena Smith no se ha percatado de que ella tiene la clave del misterio, y las herramientas para revertir la catástrofe.
Juntos, Barry y Helena deben confrontar a su enemigo… antes de que ellos mismos, y el mundo entero, queden atrapados en un caótico bucle sin control.
“Blake Crouch ha establecido las reglas de una nueva realidad. Recursión va más allá de las grandes ideas para examinar los efectos que tienen en un mundo más grande y complejo”.
–Jason Sheehan, NPR
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of Dark Matter and the Wayward Pines trilogy comes a relentless thriller about time, identity, and memory—his most mind-boggling, irresistible work to date, and the inspiration for Shondaland’s upcoming Netflix film.
“Gloriously twisting . . . a heady campfire tale of a novel.”—The New York Times Book Review
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • NPR • BookRiot
Reality is broken.
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.
