What this book is about
Jason Dessen, a mild-mannered physics professor in Chicago, is abducted at gunpoint and wakes up in a version of his life where he became a scientific superstar instead of a husband and father. As Jason navigates the quantum multiverse to find his way back to the family he loves, he discovers that infinite versions of himself are doing the same thing. Crouch's pulse-pounding thriller uses quantum mechanics as the engine for a chase story that is also a meditation on the choices that define us.
