Review of 'Dark Matter' on 'Storygraph'

First of all, I kind of liked this novel, it generated some thinking. Second of all, I have an issue.

If every choice Jason makes creates a new timeline with a new Jason that works to get back to his "original timeline", why doesn't every choice Daniela (or Jason 2, or any single one of their close friends, family, pets or house bugs) make create a "new original timeline", why is there only one of those, and why do all the Jasons end up in exactly the same one

I also kind of want to know what happens in that timeline after protagonist-Jason escapes. I pity the police department tasked with making sense of that crime scene, and the myriads of dejected Jasons moping about.
