Álomhotel
Egy nő küzdelme a szabadságért – egy közeljövőben játszódó rémálomban
Mi történik, ha már az álmainkat is megfigyelik?
És ebből egy algoritmus képes előre jelezni, milyen bűncselekményt követünk majd el a jövőben.
Amiért már most börtönbe zárnak…
Sara Husseint egy külföldi konferenciáról hazatérve a Los Angeles-i repülőtéren letartóztatják, mivel az álmaiból nyert adatok alapján közvetlen fenyegetést jelent arra, akit a világon a legjobban szeret: a férjére. Sara hirtelen egy börtönben találja magát, ahol minden mozdulatát és gondolatát megfigyelik, kiértékelik, és ezek alapján döntenek arról, mikor szabadulhat.
Már ha szabadulhat egyáltalán.
Ám egyszer csak olyasmi történik az intézményben, aminek a hatására Sara válaszút elé kerül: továbbra is tartsa be a szabályokat, vagy lázadjon fel a rendszer ellen, amely megfosztotta a szabadságától és az álmaitól.
Az Álomhotel egyszerre feszültséggel teli disztópia és mélyen emberi történet arról, kik vagyunk, és mit jelent valóban szabadnak lenni. Kísérteties vízió az emberi méltóságról egy olyan társadalomban, ahol a hatalom korlátozás nélkül használhatja fel a saját céljaira a technológiát. Margaret Atwood, George Orwell, Kazuo Ishiguro rajongóinak kötelező olvasmány.
The Renovation
Dilara s father is disappearing.
He has dementia and the disease steals a little more of him each day. Dilara has persuaded him to move in with her, hiring builders to adapt her apartment in preparation, but when the renovation is complete she discovers a big problem.
Instead of a new bathroom, the builders have installed a Turkish prison cell. At first she is outraged. There has surely been some mistake. Dilara s family are exiles they left Turkey many years ago and have never been back.
The last thing she wants is a piece of her estranged homeland appearing uninvited in her new home. But as the weeks pass, her indignation gives way to curiosity. Beyond the cell door, she glimpses Turkish guards going about their work. Through the cell walls, she hears Turkish prisoners murmuring, rustling, crying out in their sleep.
And in the strange, impossible air of the cell itself, she smells the sesame scent of freshly baked simit, she tastes the fine dust of the Anatolian steppe on her tongue.
Even as she struggles to care for her father, to keep the family finances afloat and stop the wheels coming off her marriage, Dilara is drawn back again and again to the mysterious prison cell, and through it to a city that once belonged to her to the salt wind off the Marmara, the sky full of gulls and domes and minarets back to Istanbul.
Exit Strategy
Jack Reacher will make three stops today. Not all of them were planned for.
First - a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing about. A minor interruption from two of the customers, but nothing he can't deal with swiftly. As he leaves, a young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively Reacher checks the pocket holding his cash and passport. There's no problem. Nothing is missing.
Second - a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch when he heads to warmer climes. Large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault. As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help.
Third - wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the guy's technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his mission to find out more . . .
