NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD! - NOW STREAMING ON APPLE TV+

A "mind-blowing" (Entertainment Weekly) speculative thriller about an ordinary man who awakens in a world inexplicably different from the reality he thought he knew--from the author of Upgrade, Recursion, and the Wayward Pines trilogy

"Are you happy with your life?"

Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the kidnapper knocks him unconscious.

Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits.

Before a man he's never met smiles down at him and says, "Welcome back, my friend."

In this world he's woken up to, Jason's life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife. His son was never born. And Jason is not an ordinary college professor but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible.

Is it this life or the other that's the dream? And even if the home he remembers is real, how will Jason make it back to the family he loves?

From the bestselling author Blake Crouch, Dark Matter is a mind-bending thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we'll go to claim the lives we dream of.

Best book I’ve read in years

It’s been years since a book gripped me like this. I can’t wait to read more of his work. I’ll read everything he’s written.

Such a Cool Idea

I loved this book and the idea at its heart: what if you could live other versions of your life? What if you could travel ALL the roads not taken? I somehow missed this when it came out, but I’m so glad I read it.

Phenomenal!

"For anyone who has wondered what their life might look like at the end of the road not taken."I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this book! If I could give it 10 stars, I would! It is a fast paced, quick read, which keeps you interested all the way through. Jason is an extremely relatable and powerful character. I felt like I was running right along with him! As far as the intellectual, spatial side of the book, it really made me ponder.A highly entertaining, engaging, and thought provoking read. Highly recommend!
