Thoughts on Dark Matter, by Blake Crouch

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


To quote a review on the back cover: "Relatable and unnerving ... makes its characters--and readers--wonder what life would have been like had they made different decisions" (USA Today). Jason Dessen: one set of choices, a "celebrated genius" in quantum physics, "who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible" (back cover). Another set of choices: a family, wife, son, a professor. Both have merit, value, worth. But for Jason, not both--but maybe not. If we could undo our choices--but at what cost?

Each choice is a different universe, a different self.

A page turner. I gulped it down.
