Recursion by Blake Crouch
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
It begins subtly... people start experiencing memories of lives not lived - so full of details that they seem real but how could they be? False Memory Syndrome (as it comes to be called), starts driving people mad. But doctors and scientists cannot find a cause - it's not a pathogen or some other form of transmittable disease.
But it takes a NYC detective and a neuroscientist studying ways to help Alzheimer patients to realize what is happening, and that only they can stop it.
******************
'WTF did I just listen to? I finished the book and am left with a sense of "I just wasted 10.75 hours of my time".
There were plot holes the size of Mack Trucks, characters I just could not care about and an ending that just was flat. Not to mention that the main reader did not actually do anything for the story to help it along.
I recommend giving this one a hard pass.
