The Dream Hotel

內容簡介

內容簡介 就非得被科技吃乾抹淨，才能換你人間清醒？薩拉在機場無端被捕！罪名？即將謀害丈夫。罪證？夢境數據分析結果。薩拉旋即遭羈押，在押的人各色各樣，但共通點是皆被控預謀犯罪，且都是一家睡眠科技公司的客戶。該公司宣稱只需植入晶片便可移除夢境，還你一夜好眠！然夢境的下落卻無人知曉。隨著羈押期一延再延，薩拉意識到僅靠她一己之力，恐難逃出演算法設下的天羅地網…From Laila Lalami—the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist and a “maestra of literary fiction” (NPR)—comes a riveting and utterly original novel about one woman’s fight for freedom, set in a near future where even dreams are under surveillance.Sara has just landed at LAX, returning home from a conference abroad, when agents from the Risk Assessment Administration pull her aside and inform her that she will soon commit a crime. Using data from her dreams, the RAA’s algorithm has determined that she is at imminent risk of harming the person she loves most: her husband. For his safety, she must be kept under observation for twenty-one days.The agents transfer Sara to a retention center, where she is held with other dreamers, all of them women trying to prove their innocence from different crimes. With every deviation from the strict and ever-shifting rules of the facility, their stay is extended. Months pass and Sara seems no closer to release. Then one day, a new resident arrives, disrupting the order of the facility and leading Sara on a collision course with the very companies that have deprived her of her freedom.Eerie, urgent, and ceaselessly clear-eyed, The Dream Hotel artfully explores the seductive nature of technology, which puts us in shackles even as it makes our lives easier. Lalami asks how much of ourselves must remain private if we are to remain free, and whether even the most invasive forms of surveillance can ever capture who we really are.
