Recursion

"Recursion is part sci-fi , part twisty thriller, part epic love story . I read this last summer while in Italy and missed my train stop because I was so engrossed in the novel. NYPD detective Barry Sutton encounters a woman who appears to have False Memory Syndrome, what some believe is a contagion that is spreading rapidly in which those inflicted have memories of a different life. But it’s not a syndrome at all, and instead the result of an invention of neuroscientist Helena Smith. Barry and Helena ultimately intersect to try to save each other – and the world. I can’t do the storyline justice, but it lives up to every bit of its ambition."
