Recursion

Memory makes reality. But what happens when reality begins to fracture? Across the world, a new affliction is spreading, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. The media calls it False Memory Syndrome, and for New York City detective Barry Sutton, it begins with a woman standing on a skyscraper ledge, torn apart by a past that belongs to someone else. His investigation into her death leads him down a rabbit hole of a mystery more terrifying than any disease, a force that isn't just attacking people's minds, but the very fabric of time itself.

Elsewhere, neuroscientist Helena Smith has dedicated her life to a noble cause: creating a technology that will allow us to preserve our most cherished memories. Driven by personal loss, she hopes to give people the ability to re-experience a first kiss or a final moment with a loved one. When a powerful benefactor offers her unlimited resources, she gets her chance, unaware that her invention holds the key to the chaos Barry is investigating. As their paths converge, they discover a threat that is actively unmaking the world, forcing them to confront the nature of memory and the consequences of tampering with the past. This intricate, mind-bending thriller explores the depths of human connection and the cost of second chances in a reality that is collapsing with every passing moment.
