Dark Matter: What If Every Bad Decision Gets its Own Universe?

from Unserious Book Reviews · host Unserious Book Reviews

Jason Dessen is a perfectly ordinary physics professor living a perfectly ordinary life in Chicago, which in thriller terms means he is about three pages away from everything going catastrophically wrong.One night, Jason is kidnapped by a man wearing a creepy mask. Jason wakes up to discover that reality has hit shuffle. He’s no longer a mild-mannered professor; instead, he’s a world-famous physicist who invented a miraculous device known as “the Box”, which can access alternate universes. As Jason tumbles through realities—many of them lethal—he learns an important lesson: the multiverse is infinite, but most versions of Chicago end badly for you. Also, running while confused is a surprisingly transferable skill across universes.=====================================Find more of our Unserious Book Reviews on our website http://unseriousbookreviews.com/Instagram: @unseriousbrBluesky: @unseriousbookrvws
