The tale begins in a world that is under threat. Widening faultlines threaten to rip civilisation apart. In a small corner of this world, one determined man pushes back. The tale ends long after humanity has left Earth.
In between, a small boy learns a lesson about bullies. A traveler discovers some hard truths in an ancient land. A young couple discover a new dimension to the human experience. A mother calms her scared child with an old folk story. A man dies and is reborn, and soon discovers that he is not alone.
As connected as they are separate, each of the 7 stories explores different ideas, questioning their nature and their consequences.
Provocative and peculiar, Recursion is not about right answers, but different ones.
I can honestly say I have no clue what this book is about. Several odd stories that may or may not be connected. I feel like this should be read by wannabe intellectuals smoking weed and discussed over wine while sitting on pillows on the floor. I gave it three stars because, well, it was neither bad nor good. One thing I am certain of, it was short.
