Dark Matter is a sci-fi/thriller book by Blake Crouch, first published 2 years ago. The story is about Jason Dessen, a university physics professor, whose life turns upside down in a single night. He was kidnapped and brought to another world where he was never married with his wife nor had a son with her.

I think Dark Matter is the kind of book that takes the most obscure and fascinating aspects of our mysterious world and put it in compelling and emphatetic storytelling. Although the plot is heavily carried by the science of quantum mechanic, superposition, and other mumbo jumbos, the writer gives us more of the characters and his/her choices. The kind of book that makes us go "What would I do if I were in the characters' position?"

The book is well structured and doesn't take long to pick up the pace. Some twists are quite predictable, notably the earlier ones; but some are extremely great and the writer really knows how to exploit the twists, not rarely making the character's doubting their own morals and identities.

Overall, it's imaginative--scarily imaginative--and can be really cruel at the same time.

P.S. I think I would do this review every weekend from now on, just like this. Till next week!
