Included in Apple TV+’s original announcement about the series was the news that Joel Edgerton was signed on to play the lead character, Jason Dessen. (Image credit: A24) Joel Edgerton Will Play Jason Dessen While the section headings in the article below do not contain major spoilers about the plot, and I will not be getting into the ending of the novel in this article or the fate of the characters, the text in the sections below does include more specific references to plot elements that you may not want to know if you’re planning to read the book (opens in new tab). Apple TV+’s description puts it nicely when they say it’s “a story about the road not taken.” Of course, there's a major sci-fi element involved in that, but you may want to read the book to see how that factors in, along with Jason's efforts to try to get back to his family. Since we spend much of the first half of the novel following Jason as he tries to figure out what’s going on, I'd personally recommend not knowing much more than that going into the book. It starts with our main character, physicist/husband/father Jason Dessen, being abducted, drugged and dropped into surroundings that are both familiar and unfamiliar all at once. One of the great things about Blake Crouch’s 2016 novel Dark Matter is that it’s a sci-fi story and a bit of a mystery thriller as well. If You're Planning To Read The Dark Matter Book First
