Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
5.0
What would you get if The Matrix and Inception had a baby with some genes from The Prestige? You would get this beauty of a book by Blake Crouch.
Imagine you have an ordinary, not perfect, but happy life. You have a wife you are in love with and a child. You are on your way back home after congratulating a friend for winning the Pavia prize. On the way back you encounter a masked man who asks you “Are you happy with your life?” You go dizzy as if drugged and when you open your eyes again a man whom you have never seen before, smiles at you, stretches out his hand and says “Welcome back”.
This is what happens to Jason Dessen in [b:Dark Matter|27833670|Dark Matter|Blake Crouch|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1472119680s/27833670.jpg|43161998]. He is whisked away from his life into another one where his wife and son does not exist. Does he want to stay or leave? Do the other versions of Jasons in the other parallel realities agree or disagree?
Highlights :
1. Fast paced and nail biting writing
2. Story telling makes up for minor flaws in writing
3. More of an emotional sci-fic read (like [b:The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet|24956528|The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarers, #1)|Becky Chambers|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1424178658s/24956528.jpg|42270825]
4. The concept of multiverse is wonderfully written. It is a concept all humans get lost in.
