last words the woman tells NYPD Detective 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 re-experience a first kiss or the birth of
a child. 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 . . . 'Blake Crouch's action-packed
brilliantly unique Recursion had me up late and shirking responsibilities until I had devoured
