How did you like it compared to Recursion?
I’m hoping to get a review out here in a day or so, but I really liked it! I don’t think the plot was quite as tight as Recursion—a few threads felt dropped when they were no longer useful… So Recursion might have been the better written book, but I think I connected emotionally with Jason in Dark Matter more than Barry in Recursion. But it’s hard to pick a favorite, since they both feel independently excellent.
Whoops, didn’t see your comment till now. Great review! I think this one will be the next Blake Crouch book on my TBR.
Yes! Do it! And then there’s an Apple TV show based on it. Based on the trailer, it looks like a really accurate adaption!
