If you tore through Dark Matter for its pedal-to-the-floor pacing—from Jason’s abduction to the mad scramble through the Box’s infinite corridors—you’ll love how Recursion rockets from a single case of “false memories” into a globe-spanning cascade of collapsing realities. Like Jason racing to reclaim Daniela, Barry and Helena fight to outpace a technology that rewrites lives in an instant, delivering the same white-knuckle chase, jaw-drop reveals, and emotional stakes.

In Dark Matter, Jason’s singular mission—get back to Daniela and their son—drives every choice, even as the multiverse keeps shifting under his feet. The Gone World gives you that same propulsive objective: NCIS agent Shannon Moss hunts a missing girl and a murderer through possible futures, each timeline revealing new threats and costs. It has the relentless urgency of Jason’s pursuit, the dizzying “what if” permutations, and the high-stakes race against an encroaching nightmare.

If the part of Dark Matter that stuck with you was Jason facing the versions of himself he might’ve been—and what makes the life with Daniela worth fighting for—The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August digs into those same philosophical nerves. Harry relives his life over and over, remembering each run, and must decide who he is across countless possibilities. It’s the same blend of heady speculation and human heart that made Jason’s multiverse odyssey resonate.

Beneath the chase in Dark Matter is a marriage—Jason and Daniela—that anchors the wild science. Version Control shares that intimate core: Rebecca and her physicist husband live with the quiet gravity of his "causality violation device," as subtle ripples hint their world isn’t quite right. If you felt the emotional pull of Jason’s family amid reality slippage, this gives you the same close-up, relationship-first lens with a slow-blooming, unsettling mystery.

Loved how Dark Matter kept flipping the table—from Jason’s abduction to the revelation of the other Jasons crowding in on his life? The Space Between Worlds delivers that same jolt. Cara travels to parallel Earths where her counterparts are dead, only to uncover secrets about her past and the system exploiting those worlds. Expect reversals that reframe everything you think you know, plus the identity-and-choice tensions that made Jason’s final confrontation hit hard.
