The Dream Hotel, by Laila LalamiRead about the other entries on the list.
In Laila Lalami’s unnerving speculative novel, archivist Sara Hussein is detained for having a problematic “risk score” due to violent dreams. Baffled, desperate, and increasingly enraged, Sara builds alliances, battles hopelessness, and strains to demonstrate her innocence in the face of institutional suspicion and weaponized data. Privacy never sounded so good.
The Dream Hotel is among Fred Lunzer's ten realist novels that integrate futuristic topics.
