And she wants to create the technology that will help people preserve their most precious ones, so that they can live them again in vivid detail. Just another in a mounting number of cases of FMS – False Memory Syndrome – it leaves Sutton searching for a truth and opening the doors to a world he didn’t know existed.īrilliant neuroscientist, Helena Smith, knows the importance of memories. But he’s a good cop, which is why he cannot let the suicide go. Sutton is a functioning alcoholic, unable to come to terms with the hit-and-run that killed his teenage daughter eleven years ago and his subsequent divorce. NYC Cop, Barry Sutton, can do nothing but watch as a woman kills herself – driven mad by painfully vivid memories of a life she hasn’t lived. Needless to say, I had high expectations. Before I could read that though, I heard about Recursion, added it to my TBR pile, and managed to get my hands on a copy. And Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter has been on my list for a while. Obscura by Joe Hart was the last ‘really good’ science fiction novel that I’d read (review here). I’m a huge fan of Michael Crichton’s work – his books have always had an incredible mix of science fiction and psychological outlook, making for great stories with great characterization. I’d been looking for a good science fiction novel for a long time. Does that mean that altering these memories could alter our realities (or the perception of our realities)? Our lives and we, ourselves, are made of our memories.
