Reviews
"A gripping, Kafkaesque foray into an all-too-plausible future where data collection penetrates interior life, The Dream Hotel is also an elegant meditation on emigration, motherhood, and what we sacrifice, unthinkingly, for the sake of convenience." --Jennifer Egan, author of The Candy House " The Dream Hotel offers a stark vision of the future--in which America is a surveillance state, ruled by the intertwined forces of capital and government, powered by all-too-fallible algorithm that determines criminality based on citizen's dreams. That's plainly a metaphor for extant practices of social control, but Laila Lalami's extraordinary new novel is more than just a political warning; the book is an exploration of the psyche itself, the strange ungovernable forces of fate and emotion that make us human." -- Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind, A Most Anticipated Book of 2025 from Goodreads, People, TIME , TODAY, New York Times Book Review Podcast, Marie Claire, The National, New Scientist, Literary Hub, Deseret News, Kirkus, Screen Rant, The OC Register , Electric Literature, Language Arts , and The Crimson White "Brilliant...Makes you question why we aren't doing more to protect our privacy right now." --Ann Patchett in TheSkimm "This reminded me of V for Vendetta ...These are memorable kids, they're smart, they're funny...It's fantastic." -- Joumana Khatib, New York Times Book Review Podcast "A gripping, Kafkaesque foray into an all-too-plausible future where data collection penetrates interior life, The Dream Hotel is also an elegant meditation on identity and what we sacrifice, unthinkingly, for the sake of convenience." --Jennifer Egan, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Candy House " The Dream Hotel offers a stark vision of the future--in which America is a surveillance state, ruled by the intertwined forces of capital and government, powered by all-too-fallible algorithm that determines criminality based on citizen's dreams.

I was utterly gripped, caught up, as if I was living the same nightmare as Sara. It felt terrifyingly and convincingly close." -- Esther Freud, author of H ideous Kinky "Stellar...There are echoes of The Handmaid's Tale here--as Margaret Atwood does in that book, Lalami builds a convincing near-future dystopia out of current events...But Lalami's scenario is unique and well-imagined--interspersed report sheets, transcripts, and terms-of-service lingo have a realistic, poignant lyricism that exposes the cruel bureaucracy in which Sara is trapped...And the story exposes the particular perniciousness of big tech's capacity to exploit our every movement, indeed practically every thought...Striking...An engrossing and troubling dystopian tale." --Kirkus , starred review "A stirring dystopian tale of dwindling privacy and freedom in the digital age...The premise calls to mind Philip K. Dick's The Minority Report , but Lalami's version is chillingly original, echoing widespread fears about the abuse of surveillance technology, and she balances high-concept speculative elements with deep character work. This surreal story feels all too plausible." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review, A Most Anticipated Book of 2025 from TIME Magazine and Language Arts "A gripping, Kafkaesque foray into an all-too-plausible future where data collection penetrates interior life, The Dream Hotel is also an elegant meditation on identity and what we sacrifice, unthinkingly, for the sake of convenience." --Jennifer Egan, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Candy House " The Dream Hotel offers a stark vision of the future--in which America is a surveillance state, ruled by the intertwined forces of capital and government, powered by all-too-fallible algorithm that determines criminality based on citizen's dreams.

Synopsis
NATIONAL BESTSELLER READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY 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.
