Recursion

If you woke up tomorrow and suddenly had a brain full of memories of a life you, until this moment, have no recollection of living — what would you do? When memories become so fragile and ephemeral, how do you know what is actually real? Blake Crouch examines a space-time crisis of human making with such a pure and focused vision. The story reminds me most of the movie Edge Of Tomorrow, which is based on concepts in the Japanese novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. Only, in Crouch's book, the stakes feel more personal and thus, carry more emotional weight. It's a wonderful, if sometimes mind bending sci-if story.
