Nod by Adrian Barnes
In a world where sleep becomes a rare and precious commodity, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of Paul, a linguist who is among the few who can still dream. As society spirals into chaos and madness due to widespread insomnia, Paul and his partner Tanya navigate the crumbling remnants of civilization. The story explores themes of sanity, survival, and the fragile nature of human consciousness, as the sleepless masses become increasingly desperate and dangerous. Amidst the turmoil, Paul clings to his dreams, which offer a glimpse of hope and a connection to a world that is rapidly slipping away.
