7 short stories, as connected as they are separate, tell a cautionary tale that spans across aeons. Through this tale, Aditya explores different worlds and ideas, questioning their nature and their consequences.
Provocative and peculiar, Recursion is less about right answers, and more about different ones. Embracing complexity and ambiguity while ignoring convention, the writer has abandoned structured storytelling, in favour of unbridled imagination.
Recursion can best be described as a confluence of Indic thought and speculative fiction, to be consumed with a touch of levity.
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.
