Interesting premise, and for the most part a good page turner. Part thriller, part sci fi, it gets a bit too bogged down with the back and forth. The last section of the book (Book Five) was very confusing to navigate and I enjoyed it far less than the first four parts.

I don't normally read sci fi, but I was curious about Recursion by Blake Crouch after all the hype it's received. I really enjoyed this novel - what a ride!
With the intention of helping her mother who has memory loss, a scientist develops technology to capture strong memories and transport the person back in time to when the memory first occurred. Since this is a thriller, things go horribly wrong when the tech is used for unintended purposes by the wrong people.
Recursion was the ideal mix of reality, sci fi, emotions, and thought-provoking ideas. The audiobook narration by Jon Lindstrom and Abby Craden was excellent.
