About this listen
'A fantastic read' – Andy Weir, author of The Martian
A compulsive, breathtaking exploration of memory and what it means to be human, Recursion is a mind-bending thriller from the author of Dark Matter, Blake Crouch.
* * *
At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived.
But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shockwave, unleashed by a stunning discovery – and what’s in jeopardy is not just our minds.
In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth – and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery . . . and the tools for fighting back.
Together, Barry and Helena will have to confront their enemy – before they, and the world, are trapped in a loop of ever-growing chaos.

What made this a slightly irritating listen were a few tics of the voice actors:
The male reader had a lovely rich voice, but also that strong midwestern habit of dropping his 'G' everywhere, sounding like "They were waiteen and watcheen for the ringeen of the phone" etc that kept me stumbling. (That's not an actual quote from the book)
The female reader was perhaps attempting vocal fry, but not achieving it. Every descriptive sentence ended in a lower tone - which made it sound to me like she was always on the verge of tears. Almost unlistenable, once I noticed it.
I've just realised why I like British voice actors - even with regional variations, they tend to sound neutral.
Great concept limited by voice actors & love story

As with the previous audiobook, the production was excellent, no complaints.
Heart wrenching, mind bending, excellent SciFi
