What was once a mind-numbing, reality-hopping sci-fi becomes a thrilling examination of humanity and belonging.

    I finished it, hoping to see any trace of “dark matter” in the story but it was so cringe that the book never once used it. What a stupid thing to do - just to co-opt a popular phrase.

    It’s the reason why no matter how good the show gets, I’ll never watch it.

      Should have named it “Darkest matters” or something. I don’t know what it’s about.

      Similarly, I hate common word company names like “Meta” that broke search for those words.

        Meta was the dumbest rename. I still call it Facebook.

        How about “Grim dark matters”?

      To be fair, the other ‘Dark Matter’(2015) tv show never actually brought up dark matter either.

        But more critically, I don’t give a shit about the show. It’s the book I’m upset with. I finished that fucker. Gave it 2 stars. First book I’ve finished in a long time that I didn’t give 5 stars to.

        Who was in that? I’m trying to remember if I’ve heard of it.
