ReCOgnition: Oxygen Debt Part 1 by Mark Dowson
4.0
Set in the year 2112, this is a futuristic and thought-provoking story, with the challenge of climate change at the heart of it, and what happens when science becomes reckless, giving rise to machinoids with cognitive abilities (this is where the title comes from), so, a recipe for disaster basically!
This was brilliant, truly in line with Michael Chrichton's sci-fi thrillers. It is intellectually stimulating and very atmospheric, the prospects of a dark, and un-breathable near future felt very realistic . This is more than an eco-sensitive time-travelling thriller, it has drama, crime, murder, mystery, romance and whatnot in it! It's truly a ride in under 200 pages, ending in a cliffhanger. Can't wait to grab the next part!
