Sammy asked Blake Crouch:

I loved Dark Matter! I always love seeing people's take on alternate universes, as it helps me develop my own theories. How do you select the names of your characters?

Blake Crouch It is not a science. It's more of a gut feeling. Very hard to explain. Sometimes the phone book is involved. Often, I name characters after friends. Also one of the most important choices I make in books, b/c once you name a character you're stuck with it forever!
