Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
This book is personally one of the most mind-bending reads. This book will make you rethink everything about your life and is incredibly psychological and analytical. It begins with Jason, a physics professor surrounded by a loving wife and artistic son. He hopes to spend a quiet night with his family spent in front of their fireplace. But, when he goes to visit a friend at the local bar, his entire reality shatters. The ending is a work of art, and full of never-ending twists and turns.
