DARK MATTER

Dark Matter - By Blake Crouch

Dark Matter, is a novel beyond its time, yet cleverly composed to make you feel rooted to the moment.

It is remarkable how Blake Crouch uses scientific theories to penetrate into our minds and make us realize the worth of the present, thereby challenging the long standing debate - "whether science can instill faith in humans".

It’s a thriller that keeps you gripping till the end, and you would catch yourself panting and falling short of breath. No amount of words can justify the excitement you encounter through every successive chapter and with the suspense growing at an exponential rate, you are transported into an alternate reality.

Moreover, the best part of this novel is that it opens our mind to a whole new perspective on our current reality. It imbibes into us the very thought that - this Moment is all we have got. The human species in the haste to build an unforeseen future, forgets to live in the present. This novel, takes us beyond the future to get us back into our reality.

If you have a penchant for Christopher Nolan classics or you associate yourself as a science enthusiast then this novel is going to tickle your senses even further.

Alternatively, If you are like me and are looking for a paradigm shift in your regular reads, then this is my definite recommendation. A 340 pages worth of adventure, thrill and love!

Here's a little premise about what was going in my mind before I chose this book.

I consider myself better aligned to the literary world than as a member of the scientific community. I have always believed that scientific theories and their formulated hypothesis were beyond my brain's cognition. And to be honest, I was a little hesitant to go out of my comfort zone to try this work of science fiction. However, I ended up accepting the challenge and gave this a try. I haven’t regretted my choice since, Choice – being the operative word. You will know why, if you dive into this book.

A disclaimer would be to start reading when you have sufficient time to spare, because, putting this book down would be an unwelcome gesture for your brain.
