Description
Dawn breaks over Vancouver, marking the beginning of a new world. Six days of sleep deprivation have brought about a shared golden dream, and the effects are catastrophic. Panic sets in as the old world disintegrates, and those on the fringes take the lead. Amidst this chaos, a writer struggles to cope with the consequences of his partner's disintegration. As the days turn into weeks, the body begins to succumb to the effects of prolonged sleep deprivation. The new world, born from the ashes of the old, is a strange and unsettling place. A writer's grip on reality falters, and the boundaries between sanity and madness blur. In this gripping dystopian novel, the fragility of human existence is laid bare. The consequences of a world pushed to the brink of collapse are both haunting and thought-provoking.
