傑森不過是晚上出去跟朋友喝杯酒,不過才剛跟老婆孩子道別,還答應稍後帶冰淇淋回來享受難得的家庭之夜。但是再次轉開家門,一切都變了,沒有太太、沒有孩子,家具隔間全不是他記得的樣子,甚至連他自己都不是自己……幸好,他手指上隱約留下婚戒痕跡。對,他不是腦子壞、神智混亂,記憶造假。
可是死命追他、要抓他的人,口裡描述的根本是完全不同的傑森,那人沒婚沒家,完全孤立,只有工作,甚至還在科學研究上拿到傑森早已放棄的大獎。這到底怎麼回事?為何應該認識他的老友,也說他醉心工作?更重要的是,那位應該是他太太的女人,為何說他們沒有孩子,而且十多年前分手後,就再不曾往來?
傑森努力想證明自己沒瘋、沒病、沒腦瘤,但一切都不合理。難道有人趁他一陣迷茫,把世界換過來了?!難道他那個有暈黃小燈透出窗外、妻兒相伴的溫暖小屋,再也回不去了?
他不認得這個世界,堅信另有一個世界才是他的歸屬,
瘋了?病了?是惡作劇,還是宇宙級的噩夢,永難逃脫?

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - COMING SOON TO APPLE TV+ - 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.
