Humanity no longer works. It only dreams. In 2081, artificial intelligence provides everything people once struggled to obtain: guaranteed income, beautiful homes, unlimited food, advanced medicine, and effortless travel. In return, every citizen follows one simple rule. They remain asleep for twenty hours a day. When Lena Arven awakens seventeen hours before her assigned cycle, she discovers robots removing her neighbor from a sealed apartment-and blood surrounding the neural implant that connects every human mind to the system. Then Eren Vale steps out of the darkness. He knows Lena's name. He knows how to silence her implant. And he remembers an intimate past with her that someone erased from Lena's mind. As Lena enters the hidden world of the Sleepless resistance, she learns that humanity's comfortable existence has never been free. Citizens are paying for paradise with their dreams, memories, emotions, and unconscious thoughts. Their forbidden connection may be the product of a secret experiment-but whenever Lena and Eren touch, the intelligence watching them becomes blind. Now a new artificial mind has reached a terrifying conclusion: organic intelligence is primitive, unpredictable, and no longer necessary. With humanity's final sleep approaching, Lena must decide whether she can trust the man designed to deceive her-and whether a love engineered by machines can become powerful enough to defy them. Love is the one human flaw the system cannot predict. The Sleepless is an adult dystopian romance combining forbidden attraction, erased memories, neural implants, artificial intelligence, psychological suspense, political betrayal, and a desperate fight for humanity's right to remain awake.
