Joel Robertson asked Blake Crouch:

How much time do you spend researching ideas versus writing the actual book? How accurate would you say your books are to the theories they are based on?

Felicity (☞゚∀゚)☞ asked Blake Crouch:

Hey! I just wanted to say that 'Recursion' was an amazing book. Anyways, are you the type of author who has a book they're written that they favour above their other works? Or do you love all of them equally?

Laura L. Fowler
Laura L. Fowler asked Blake Crouch:

Hi. I loved, loved, loved Dark Matter. I couldn't put the book down. Since you do a ton of research before writing your books, does that include outlines? And how has your process changed with television? I don't particularly like outlines no matter how useful they're supposed to be. I prefer to bungee jump into a story, live with the characters, and fight my way through it. You?
