Imagine a world where your dreams can be used against you. In Laila Lalami's thought-provoking novel, Sara Hussein finds herself detained in a "retention facility" called Madison, not for a crime she committed, but because an algorithm has flagged her as an "imminent risk".... Based on an intricate web of data, including the deeply personal realm of her dreams..., this system dictates her fate. As Sara navigates the Kafkaesque reality of Madison, she confronts the insidious creep of constant surveillance and the unsettling power of a technology that claims to know her better than she knows herself. "The Dream Hotel" delves into the chilling consequences of a society obsessed with data-driven predictions, exploring themes of privacy, guilt, and the desperate fight for individual agency in a world where every thought and digital footprint is scrutinized.... Experience a gripping story that blends sharp social commentary with a compelling narrative, forcing us to confront the cost of security in an age of ubiquitous data collection. Is true freedom possible when even our subconscious is under watch9
