I'm currently reading Recursion, by Blake Crouch. It's science fiction about changing memory gone out of control. I started it simply because I like the author. But after getting a ways into it, I've been a bit taken aback by the fact that the memory condition is considered a disease. There are multiple references to the CDC and such. The connection to our world's current condition is inescapable. But so far, it's very good and interesting. The parallels don't detract from the book at all. If anything, it adds to the appeal in a hard-to-define but interesting way
The book series that made me a huge Crouch fan is Wayward Pines. Simply excellent. And it was made into a TV miniseries which did it total justice. I loved it. And what was the clincher for me to read Recursion is that it's set to come to Netflix next year. If the book/miniseries combo is anywhere near as good as Wayward Pines...well...I'll just put it this way...I'm excited. And so far the book is very good.
