The book of Dark Matter is a relentlessly surprising, mind-bending sci-fi thriller from Blake Crouch that will leave you questioning the very nature of reality.

Dark Matter takes readers on a heart-pounding journey through alternate universes. Jason Dessen is living a quiet, ordinary life as a college physics professor, cherishing his family and simple happiness. But everything changes the night he is abducted. “Are you happy in your life?” are the last words he hears before a masked stranger knocks him unconscious. Jason wakes strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. A man he’s never met smiles at him and says, “Welcome back.”

In this new reality, Jason’s life is unrecognizable. His wife is not his wife. His son was never born. And Jason himself is not a humble professor but a celebrated scientific genius who has achieved the impossible he has created a device that allows travel between infinite alternate realities.

As he struggles to make sense of his fractured existence, Jason embarks on a nightmarish journey across shifting worlds to reclaim the life and family he lost. But every choice he makes in this tangled web of realities could pull him further away from everything he loves.

Thrilling, thought-provoking, and emotionally charged, Dark Matter asks profound questions: What if you could live another version of your life? And at what cost?

Blake Crouch delivers an unforgettable blend of high-stakes suspense and deep human emotion in Dark Matter, a story where every twist leads to another impossible choice and no reality is ever quite what it seems.
