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.

High-concept science fiction thrillers and intricate mystery plots define a body of work that bridges speculative fiction and screenwriting. Author Blake Crouch gained wide recognition with his speculative novels and screen adaptations that blend quantum physics, temporal manipulation, and psychological suspense.
Born William Blake Crouch on October 15, 1978, in Statesville, North Carolina, he attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning his degree in 2000. He began publishing novels in 2004 and has since written more than a dozen books translated into over thirty languages, along with short fiction published in Ellery Queen and Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine. Crouch achieved international prominence with his Wayward Pines trilogy, which FOX adapted into a television series executive produced by M. Night Shyamalan that became Summer 2015's top-rated show. Expanding his screenwriting and television work, he co-created the TNT series Good Behavior with Chad Hodge, starring Michelle Dockery and based on his Letty Dobesh novellas. Crouch lives in Colorado with his family, where he writes novels and develops screen projects, including showrunning the television series adaptation of Dark Matter.
Crouch's writing combines fast-paced thriller mechanics with deep explorations of technology, identity, and human consciousness. His speculative narratives frequently center on high-stakes dilemmas involving quantum mechanics, memory alteration, gene editing, and parallel dimensions. By grounding complex scientific concepts in intense personal struggles, his work examines modern digital-age anxieties and the unforeseen consequences of advanced technology.
