Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
From the creator of the Wayward Pines trilogy (which became a Fox TV series) comes a provocative science-fiction thriller sure to please aficionados of this genre everywhere.
Life as Jason Dessen knows it, will never be the same. He leaves the warmth of his Chicago home on a chilly October evening, fully intending to return soon to wife, Daniela, son Charlie, and domestic contentment. Admittedly, there are times when those nagging questions of what might have been plague him. Like why is he teaching at a small college when he was once revered in the scientific world of quantum physics? And why is Daniela teaching private art lessons when she could have her own show at a prestigious gallery?
Jason is about to find out what might have been when he is viciously attacked by a grotesque masked man who seems to know him very well. The masked man takes him on a harrowing trip to an unrecognizable place. Could this be a dream? He soon finds himself frantically struggling to reunite his family, while trying to escape a multi-dimensional world where countless versions of himself exist; a world he created during his days as a scientific genius.
"....we're more than the sum total of our choices, ..all the paths we might have taken factor somehow into the math of our identity."
Bizarre, unearthly, and eerily thought-provoking, this one is for readers who think outside the box.
