Just finished reading “Recursion”. In one day. Found it engaging. An original, and very heartfelt, take on the problems of time travel. One could easily see it becoming a movie with the CGI now available.

Reminded me of an Asimov short story “The Dead Past” I read earlier this summer. Time travel becomes ubiquitous, and people end up spying on each other ad infinitum. Akin to the social media fishbowl.

Thanks for the tip.

Oh, I’m SO glad you liked ‘Recursion.’ I couldn’t put it down either, and as I said earlier, SciFi is not even my thing. It would be a good introduction to anyone that wants to try some SciFi.

I liked ‘Recursion’ best, then his last one (so far? ) in that series. ‘Upgrade.’ The middle book didn’t seem as gripping to me, but that was just me! Still, read it and let me know what you think. (Homework assignment, LOL!)

I will check my book of Asimov short stories - ‘The Dead Past’ is probably in there. If not, I’ll find it.

So, thank you back! :)
