Que lui est-il arrivé ? Qui lui a volé sa vie, et pourquoi ? Les réponses à ces questions entraîneront Jason sur les multiples chemins d'un voyage extraordinaire, au cours duquel il devra se confronter à son plus dangereux ennemi : lui-même.Blake Crouch nous offre avec Dark Matter une interprétation moderne du thriller scientifique, à mi-chemin entre Philip K. Dick et Michael Crichton.

Jan reviewed Dark Matter. Der Zeitenläufer by Blake Crouch OG
Spannende aber auch langatmige Passagen...
4 stars
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.

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.

3+ [from my Litsy feed at the time: Man, this book worked so hard to get me to read it—it popped up in my face at every turn for months! It's a mystery, set in Chicago, about smart & creative people. I couldn't not read it! It was good, but not spectacular.]

Really dug this one. A great thriller lost in a mutliverse of action, suspense, and drama. The only think that didn't give it 5 stars was after hearing about endless possibilities, improbability of each outcome, and a situation outside the ordinary...the ending was surprisingly predictable and ordinary. At one point, I thought we'd hear something new...then a screeching turn back to the status quo. Oh well.

Part multiverse sci-fi, part thriller. Neither part quite fleshed out enough to be satisfying. Not bad, but not great either.
