I had to DNF The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami, not because it was bad, but because it was too real. A haunting look at surveillance, fear, and the cost of freedom. Would you finish a book that hits too close to home? #BookReview #SciFi #TheDreamHotel
Eerie, urgent, and ceaselessly clear-eyed, #TheDreamHotel artfully explores the seductive nature of technology, which puts us in shackles even as it makes our lives easier. @LailaLalami @PantheonBooks amzn.to/3Oxlsys #ad #StevosNovelIdeas #booksky
Reading #TheDreamHotel by @lailalalami.com Not very far into it yet and she has tweaked every one of my travel anxieties! Especially so in the T***p era. It reminds me of that old film "Minority Report" from the Philip K Dick story. This is far more ominous and I am only a few chapters in.

"In her life before, she had hundreds of books, so many they were piled in leaning ziggurats along the wall of her bedroom" (Lalami 254) #thedreamhotel #lailalalami
DNF - 14%. I've been trying to read this book, but I can't get into it. It may be the topic; it may be the writing style.

Loved The Other Americans and have been dying for the next book from @lailalalami.com — #thedreamhotel was worth the wait. Beautifully written, terrifying, and thought-provoking; I devoured it. Timing is everything and, man, does the book’s message resonate at this very moment in the U.S.
Cover art for The Dream Hotel, a novel by Laila Lalami, Pulitzer Prize finalist. Book has a purple background with a large orange box in the center, orange box is shaded black inside. There is a shadowed figure standing at the lower right edge of the orange box. Title and author text appears in white above and below the orange box, on the purple background.
Speculative fiction at its best from Laila Lalami. Minority Report meets Black Mirror in the most thoughtful and terrifying way. Themes of privacy, surveillance, private prisons, and big tech + capitalism. Highly recommended! Thanks to Pantheon and NetGalley for the eARC. #TheDreamHotel #BookSky
