1. For you, what was the biggest surprise as you followed Jason through the many twists laid out in Dark Matter?

# data[].attributes.body
2. What makes Jason 1 a standout amongst the others? Is our allegiance to him a matter of perspective? Or is there something fundamental to him that is more deserving of Daniela and Charlie than the others?

# data[].attributes.body
3. When the novel switches to Daniela’s point of view for the first time, were you surprised by the scene that takes place? Confused? What did you think was happening?

# data[].attributes.body
4. At its heart, Dark Matter is a love story. Yet we see Daniela in many different worlds and in situations where she is not with Jason and happy. Do you think they are supposed to be together? Do you believe that they would have been just as happy pursuing their career-driven dreams?

# data[].attributes.body
5. Many of the decisions in Dark Matter center around the notion of career and family. If you had to choose, would you rather live Jason 1 or Jason 2’s life? Why?

# data[].attributes.body
6. Jason 2 (and some of the other Jasons we meet later in the book) acts in morally questionable ways throughout the novel. Do you think that his life path has caused him to be less kind-hearted? Or is he merely self-interested and willing to do whatever it takes?

# data[].attributes.body
7. Without Amanda, Jason 1 might not have survived. What do you think of her decision to leave him? How did you feel about their relationship?

# data[].attributes.body
8. What kind of world do you imagine Jason, Daniela, and Charlie entered at the end of the book?

# data[].attributes.body
9. What did you think of the science and technology in the book? If this kind of advancement in science was possible, would you want it to exist?

# data[].attributes.body
10. Is there a path not taken that you wish you could experience? If so, what is it? Do you feel you ultimately made the right decision?

# data[].attributes.body
1. How would you respond if someone asked you, "Are you happy with your life?"

# data[].attributes.body
2. Professor Jason Dessen explains Schrodinger's Cat Experiment to his college students. Before watching this series, had you heard of Shrodinger's Cat? After watching the series, what are your thoughts on the experiment?

# data[].attributes.body
3. It was revealed early on that Jason 1's kidnapper was Jason 2. What did you think of Jason 2's interactions in Jason 1's world?  Was this parallel storytelling more or less effective for demonstrating the contrasts between Jason 1 and Jason 2? If you read the book, did you prefer the later reveal of Jason 2?

# data[].attributes.body
4. Daniela's exhibit displayed parts of a quote from T.S. Elliot, "Footfalls echo in the memory, Down the passage which we did not take, Towards the door we never opened." Do you have a "path not taken" where you feel like your life could have gone differently in a major way?

# data[].attributes.body
5. Jason asks Amanda," What are the key components that make you you?" Who are you at your core self?

# data[].attributes.body
6. Compare and contrast the different relationship dynamics across the Dark Matter Verses between the following characters: Jason and Daniela, Jason and Ryan, Jason and Leighton, Jason and Amanda.

# data[].attributes.body
7. There were several characters that were introduced and developed in the series, like Leighton, Blair, and Maximillian,. Were you surprised by their roles in the story and how did they contribute to the plot?

# data[].attributes.body
8. Every year the Dessen's have a special tradition to

honor Max's memory. What are some unique ways to celebrate lost loved ones?

# data[].attributes.body
9. Of all the different worlds explored in the series, what was your most favorite/least favorite? If you entered the box and found yourself in that endless corridor, what would be behind the door you open? What other worlds would you want to explore?

# data[].attributes.body
10. If you read the book, what were some minor and major differences you viewed in the series? Which did you prefer, the book or the series?
