About This Book

From the bestselling author of Dark Matter and the Wayward Pines trilogy comes a relentless thriller about time, identity, and memory—his most mind-boggling, irresistible work to date, and the inspiration for Shondaland’s upcoming Netflix film.“Gloriously twisting . . . a heady campfire tale of a novel.”—The New York Times Book ReviewNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time NPR BookRiotReality is broken. At first, it looks like a disease.

Who This Is For

Best for readers who want to be kept on edge: propulsive, twisty, and hard to put down. The writing rewards attention without being demanding, a good balance of depth and readability. It moves quickly: once you're in, it's hard to stop. Readers who prefer character depth over plot drive may find it thin.

Best Read When

Best read when you're in the mood for something tense and impossible to put down, and a read that's fast and propulsive.

What It Explores

Recursion explores identity and the gap between who we are and who we pretend to be, love in its most complicated forms, and survival and what extreme circumstances ask of people.
