RECURSION by Blake Crouch ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

(Original review written July 13, 2019)

Spending only two days with this book feels like an injustice, but shit I couldn’t stop!

I have been saying Dark Matter is my favorite book since I was lucky enough to cross paths with it last year, and Recursion pings all the same feel-good sensors with no problem.

These books send the characters on an exploration of science and our existence, and then hit you with an emotional slap in the face to take everything over the edge. It’s like watching a Christopher Nolan mind-bender, but more intimate and easier to comprehend.

I want to say -- or rather, SCREAM -- that if you like science fiction thrillers you have to read this, but really everyone should experience what these books can make you feel. It’s a guaranteed rush that will linger in the background of all your future reads.
