A Goodreads user asked Blake Crouch:

My husband and I both loved Dark Matter! Thank you so much for writing it. Did you do much research beforehand? During the writing process? If so, what was something you learned that you didn't know before finishing the book?

Blake Crouch Only about 10 years of research :)
I continued researching during the writing process.
Something I learned before finishing the book.... a physicist has, in the past decade, put an object visible to the human eye in a state of quantum superposition (multiple realities).

GS asked Blake Crouch:

Loved Recursion, Blake! It was not only a well-written sci-fi story, but also deeply philosophical for me - the way good sci-fi tends to be. Do you think of the philosophical implications of the ideas in your books when you write them?

Melissa Kirkland asked Blake Crouch:

Hi Blake! HUGE FAN! read all your books. I just picked up Ted Chiang's "Stories of Your Life and Others" and found some similarities between your style and his. So much heart and profound meaning buried within a wild futuristic sci-fi story. Did you find inspiration from him or vice versa? Do you know Ted Chiang or have read any of his work? Just curious!! Thanks!
