"My son has been erased." Those are the last words the woman tells Barry Sutton, before she leaps from the Manhattan rooftop.
Deeply unnerved, Barry begins to investigate her death, only to learn that this wasn't an isolated case. All across the country, people are waking up to lives different from the ones they fell asleep to. Are they suffering from False Memory Syndrome, a mysterious new disease that afflicts people with vivid memories of a life they never lived? Or is something far more sinister behind the fracturing of reality all around him?
Miles away, neuroscientist Helena Smith is developing a technology that allows us to preserve our most intense memories and relive them. If she succeeds, anyone will be able to reexperience a first kiss, the birth of a child, the final moment with a dying parent.
Barry's search for the truth leads him on an impossible, astonishing journey as he discovers that Helena's work has yielded a terrifying gift--the ability not just to preserve memories but to remake them . . . at the risk of destroying what it means to be human.
##关于记忆、时间与爱的一切,真正诠释了永劫回归,中文版《时间旅行者》敬请期待。
评分##4.5/5 While Dark Matter explores space dimensions (and the world's most famous cat), Recursion drags us into an elaborately constructed world where any preconceived notions of time and its linearity are thrown out the window. Can and should artificial intelligence catapulted by science ever tamper with the evolutionary nature of human experience?
评分##前面的世界构建很好,后面强行煽情而且时间穿越的构建也非常的模糊。和这个作者另一本Dark matter简直是一样的recipe。枉我开篇还觉得好像这本书会不一样,然后看到一半突然被强行塞了一部好莱坞大片...但是认真说,翻拍成电影可以催泪的。
评分##那么多时间旅行小说,这本是最疯批的,好想看影版🙃
评分##“Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once.” 看完书再读这句话,细思极恐。
评分##"No more trying to escape, either through nostalgia or a memory chair. They're both the same fucking thing."
评分##怎么说呢,看完book2前,觉得这书还挺有意思呀,从book3开始就很不耐烦了,一会好莱坞政府阴谋,一会人类终极思考,一会5世的爱情故事,而且这作者最烦的是,每次剧情快时,他就废话多,而Helena的每一个30年,都是一笔带过。我根本没搞明白为啥回到那个时间点就可以避免别人的记忆。到最后,作者都懒得解释了,直接给它一个“let it be”“面对现实”的结局,结束了事~
评分##啊大脑被卡车撞了一样震撼
