Best contemporary sci fi since The Martian

The best science fiction always starts with what if, and Recursion plays the what if scenario perfectly. America has fallen victim to False Memory Syndrome - a disease where victims are driven mad by memories of a life they never lived ... or have they? It's up to NYPD cop Barry Sutton and neuroscientist Helena Smith to figure out how to stop this epidemic, even as reality is shifting all around them.

You'll have a hard time putting this one down. It takes about a third of the novel to figure out what is really going on, and then you buckle in for a wild ride as you deal with the shifting of reality. You'll certainly want to pick up a copy before the film adaptation hits Netflix.

I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
