I absolutely loved Dark Matter when I read it a few years ago, and it completely messed me up for weeks afterwards thinking about life, the universe, and everything. So I knew I was in for something good when I (finally) picked up his next book, Recursion.
"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."

So yeah, once again Blake Crouch has me questioning all of life and reality and time and space in less than 350 pages. What's funny is I always say that I don’t like sci-fi novels, but then books like this come swinging in to totally prove me wrong. There were so many twists and turns and layers that at no point anywhere in the story did I know how it was going to end. The story ended up going way deeper than I expected from the initial description and I was absolutely sucked in.
So, the moral of the story is, if you haven’t read any of Blake Crouch’s books (especially if you think you’re not into sci-fi) you need to go pick one up today, and be ready to have your mind totally blown.
