The Margins Podcast Ep. 26 — Recursion by Blake Crouch | Memory, Time & Second Chances
Show notes
In this episode of The Margins Podcast, we dive into Recursion by Blake Crouch — a mind-bending thriller that turns memory into a weapon and time into a loop. We unpack how Crouch blends science, grief, and love into a story that questions what it means to live your life twice — or lose it again and again.
From déjà vu to destiny, we explore the moral and emotional chaos behind memory technology, the fragility of time, and the question of whether rewriting the past could ever make the future better.
