I would love to know why Dark Matter was set in Chicago. I live near Chicago, so I loved that element. But why Chicago?

B/c I came up with the idea for Dark Matter in Logan Square.

Blake Crouch:
I read Recursion, Dark Matter, and Wayward Pines trilogy respectively. I found your stories incredibly haunting. I'm still mentally chewing on the ethical dilemmas your characters endured. I loved the feeling you'd cornered your main character with an impossible decision to make and made the consequences real. Is that a catalyst for writing the stories - asking "what's the worst decision I'd ever have to make?"

Hello Mr. Blake, How are you? I enjoyed your book Recursion. I am reading Dark Matter which is an amazing book and I have enjoyed the whole story so far. Parallel universes are such an incredible topic and I love it!!!...are you planning working on some interesting topics such as worm holes, portals, past lives? I would love to see your novel Dark Matter made into a movie soon! Best regards! Edna.

Blake Crouch:
I love these lines (especially the end) from Dark Matter and wanted to say thanks: “It’s like we get so set in our ways, so entrenched in those grooves. We stop seeing our loved ones for who they are. But tonight, right now, I see you again like the first time we met, when the sound of your voice and your smell was this new country.” Do you use personal analogues to write about emotion?
