In Blake Crouch's Dark Matter, Jason Dessen's ordinary life as a college physics professor is shattered when he's abducted and wakes up to a reality that is disturbingly different.

This reality-bending thriller explores themes of identity, choice, and the profound impact of paths not taken. Jason must navigate a labyrinth of alternate realities to reclaim his original life and family. The novel delves into the complexities of quantum physics and parallel universes, questioning the nature of reality and the essence of human connection. As Jason confronts a seemingly unbeatable foe, he must also face the darkest parts of himself, making this a journey of self-discovery as much as a fight for survival. The narrative explores the psychological toll of existing in multiple realities, and the lengths one will go to for love and belonging.
