WOW hard to describe this plot! Kind of like trying to explain Inception to someone. An inventor creates a chair that can map memories and replay them, designed for those with Alzheimer's, brain trauma and amnesia. Enter the villain who finds a way to use it as a time machine. I just found out Netflix will be doing the film. Yeah, even after reading the book, I bet I have to watch it twice (at least).

FYI - IMDB says there was a short film named Recursion that was released in 2014, its even about time travel, but the plot is NOT this book, which was written in 2019.
