Dark Matter

This was a really good book. The premise is completely different from anything else I've read. There is a good amount of science, but the author does a good job of explaining it and making some of these concepts accessible. It led to a very interesting conversation with my son, the Electrical Engineer/Physics major, which was very cool. The concept and idea behind this book and the ‘possibilities' are scary, to put it mildly. (Is this science fiction or horror? What slant will the movie emphasize?) At its core, the themes I took away: With science, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Also, our choices define who we are - on a deep level. They inform what we are capable of, and what we hold most important.
