One night after an evening out, Jason Dessen, forty-year-old physics professor living with his wife and son in Chicago, is kidnapped at gunpoint by a masked man, driven to an abandoned industrial site and injected with a powerful drug. As he wakes, a man Jason's never met smiles down at him and says, "Welcome back, my friend." But this life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife; his son was never born; and he's not an ordinary college professor, but a celebrated genius who has achieved something impossible. Is it this world or the other that's the dream? How can he possibly make it back to the family he loves? The answers lie in a journey more wondrous and horrifying than anything he could have imagined--one that will force him to confront the darkest parts of himself as he battles a terrifying, seemingly unbeatable foe. …

Jan ha recensito Dark Matter. Der Zeitenläufer di Blake Crouch
Spannende aber auch langatmige Passagen...

Das Buch ist eine Mischung aus Thriller und Science Fiction und hat durchaus ein paar interessante Ansätze zum Thema Multiversum und Zeitreisen. Die Protagonisten kommen aber eher etwas flach daher. Insgesamt kurzweilige Unterhaltung.

Review of 'Dark Matter' on 'Goodreads'
3 stelle
Il paradosso del gatto di Schrödinger è appunto un paradosso: la meccanica quantistica non si può applicare a oggetti macroscopici, complessi e vivi.
Ok al multiverso per protoni elettroni a quanti vari ma per quanto riguarda gli esseri umani il semplice parlarne ti fa "precipitare" in un film Marvel popolato di Dr. Strange.
Fatta questa premessa secondo me l'autore è molto bravo nello sviscerare aspetti e conseguenze che nei fumetti e nei film dei supererori non vengono ovviamente presi in considerazione: la trama risulta avvincente ed i personaggi sono ben contestualizzati nelle diverse "scatole" che si alternano. Un po' deluso per il finale che, pur calandosi nella realtà del multiverso, risulta comunque poco sensato per i protagonisti.
