I really loved this book, kind of freaked me out also ;). As a physics teacher in high school, I will recommend my colleague language teachers to put this book on the student's recommended reading list. I wonder how you researched the stuff about dark matter and the multiversum. Did you consult teachers, professors? Did you just read about it?
Blake Crouch
Read a bunch of books and articles on the subject, and then I shared the manuscript with a guy named Clifford Johnson who is the head of the physics department at USC. He helped me to make sure I hadn't presented any theories inaccurately.

I loved Recursion. When you wrote it, did you outline it first? Or did you have to use cue cards to organize yourself? Did you end up in your garage with sticky notes covering every square inch of the walls with miles of red yarn connecting the events like John Nash in "A Beautiful Mind"?

Blake Crouch:
It seems that many artists, like yourself, are inspired to write from painful experiences, or those experiences help mold a story or a character. Do you think that the current Covid crisis will inspire future writings, and if so, what research into personal experiences would you conduct vs strictly imagination on a warped version of the virus? Or do you have no plans for considering an epidemic type scifi story?
