紐約時報暢銷作家布萊克.克勞奇(Black Crouch)繼神作《松林異境三部曲》之後，推出最新力作《Recursion》。
記憶成就現實。
這是紐約警察Barry Sutton在研究媒體稱之為虛假記憶症候群的極具毀滅性現象所觀察到的。而這種神秘無解的痛苦，讓受害者不停瘋狂地回憶起他們從未經歷過的生活片段。
神經科學家Helena Smith已經充分的了解記憶所擁有的力量。她窮盡一生的精力於創造一種技術，讓我們得以保留生命中最寶貴的時刻。如果她成功了，那麼任何人都可以再次體驗初吻、孩子的出生，甚至是兒女在父母離世前，與他們共度的生命最後一刻。
Barry在尋找真相之時，他不得不與一個比任何疾病更加可怕的對手正面交鋒，而這種神奇的力量不僅攻擊我們的思想，更攻擊了我們對過去的記憶，這樣的影響讓世界陷入混亂，他必須藉助Helena的知識，才有機會能夠拯救這樣混沌的世界。
但是，在現實世界開始大幅度改變和崩解之時，他們要如何挺身而出解決難題？(文/博客來編譯)
From the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter and the Wayward Pines trilogy comes a relentless thriller about time, identity, and memory—his most ambitious, mind-boggling, irresistible work to date.
“An action-packed, brilliantly unique ride that had me up late and shirking responsibilities until I had devoured the last page . . . a fantastic read.”—Andy Weir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian
Memory makes reality. That’s what New York City cop Barry Sutton is learning as he investigates the devastating phenomenon the media has dubbed False Memory Syndrome—a mysterious affliction that drives its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived.
Neuroscientist Helena Smith already understands the power of memory. It’s why she’s dedicated her life to creating a technology that will let us preserve our most precious moments of our pasts. If she succeeds, anyone will be able to re-experience a first kiss, the birth of a child, the final moment with a dying parent.
As Barry searches for the truth, he comes face-to-face with an opponent more terrifying than any disease—a force that attacks not just our minds but the very fabric of the past. And as its effects begin to unmake the world as we know it, only he and Helena, working together, will stand a chance at defeating it.
But how can they make a stand when reality itself is shifting and crumbling all around them?
Advance praise for Recursion
“Blake Crouch has invented his own brand of page-turner—fearlessly genre-bending, consistently surprising, and determined to explode the boundaries of what a thriller can be.”—Karin Slaughter, #1 internationally bestselling author of Pieces of Her
“Brilliant. Crouch’s innovative novels never fail to grip!”—Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of The Wife Between Us and An Anonymous Girl
“A masterful mind-bender of a novel. Crouch brilliantly infuses his story with dire repercussions and unexpected moral upheaval, and leaves you wondering what you would do if you had the chance to turn back the clock.”—Mark Sullivan, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of the Private series and author of Beneath a Scarlet Sky
