Dark Matter is like stepping into the ultimate club. The place throbs with life, joy, and beats, while underneath the lights and moving bodies are the indispensable ingredients for ultimate kicks: extreme beauty and ever-present danger. Life explodes off each page so it’s less like reading a novel and more like being enveloped in a world rushing by, pulling you along on its twisted journey. Dark Matter lays out a fascinating, fast paced story with memorable characters, all brought to life in intimate and even, at points, seductive prose. It’s also punctuated with complex graphics that turn it into a kind of multimedia event. But it isn’t all glittering surfaces. Dark Matter is a trip to the center of its world, inviting you into the swirling center. Imagine JG Ballard as the wildest DJ in the club, blasting beats that hit you on a neurological level. That’s Dark Matter. It’s a wild book. A mysterious journey. A maximum experience.
