Agent: David Hale Smith, InkWell Management. Blake Crouchs new novel, Recursion, is a thriller with a dash of sci-fi. Michael Crichton’s fans won’t want to miss this one. Crouch effortlessly integrates sophisticated philosophical concepts-such as the relationship of human perceptions of what is real to actual reality-into a complex and engrossing plot. Meanwhile, in 2018 Manhattan, a woman jumps to her death from a tall building after telling the NYPD detective trying to save her that she has false memories of being married to a man whose first wife jumped from the same building 15 years earlier. Helena’s research leads to some disturbing results. She seeks “a way to save memories for deteriorating brains that can no longer retrieve them.” Her struggle to find grants for her work ends in 2007 when inventor and philanthropist Marcus Slade offers her carte blanche to pursue her work on his facility located on a repurposed oil rig in the Pacific Ocean-unlimited funding, whatever computing power she needs, and a team of highly skilled scientists. Neuroscientist Helena Smith, whose mother has dementia, has devoted herself to studying the biology of memory. Cutting-edge science drives this intelligent, mind-bending thriller from bestseller Crouch ( Dark Matter).
