How Recursion Changed Me
Think Inception, but with a side of existential dread.
Cliché finale? Sure. But honestly, the rest of the book is just solid, straightforward sci-fi. It’s like biting into a well-made burger – you know exactly what you’re getting, and it’s satisfying as hell. Now, I’m seriously considering buying an offshore oil platform and just isolating myself to do research. I loved the “journal entry” format for the characters writing.
The real hook here is the time-travel twist, using our perception of reality through the lens of memory. It gets really hard to know what’s real. 10/10 brain-teasing mess, made me question “do I really remember this conversation, or was it all just in my head?”. Answer: it does not matter.
