Blake Crouch Collection 3 Books Set (Upgrade, Recursion, Dark Matter)

Blake Crouch Collection brings together three novels: Upgrade, Dark Matter and Recursion. Each story centres on a protagonist confronted by a reality that shifts without warning, where the familiar becomes uncertain and the consequences quickly escalate.

Across the set, the narratives move from sudden changes in perception and ability, to a life replaced by an unrecognisable version of itself, and to a world gripped by an outbreak of memories that do not belong. The collection explores what happens when identity, memory and time are pushed beyond what seems possible.

Included titles

• Upgrade
• Recursion
• Dark Matter

Synopses

Upgrade

Logan Ramsay begins to notice subtle changes: sharper focus, improved multitasking, faster reading and better memory, alongside needing less sleep. As the effects intensify, he realises something is happening to his brain and body. The shift alters how he sees the world and the people around him, including those closest to him.

Dark Matter

Jason Dessen is abducted and loses consciousness, only to wake strapped to a gurney among strangers in hazmat suits. A man he does not know greets him as if they are friends. In this new world, Jason’s life is not the one he recognises: his wife is not his wife, his son was never born, and he is no longer an ordinary college physics professor but a celebrated genius who has achieved something impossible.

Recursion

An apparent epidemic drives people mad with memories of lives they never lived, yet it is not a disease. It is the first shock wave from a discovery that threatens the fabric of time itself. In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton pursues the truth, while neuroscientist Helena Smith, working in a remote laboratory, holds the key to the mystery and the means to fight back.
