The Unit by Ninni Holmqvist
In a dystopian society where individuals deemed "dispensable" are sent to a luxurious facility, the narrative follows a woman who, upon reaching the age of fifty, is relocated to this unit. Here, she and others like her are provided with comfort and care in exchange for participating in medical experiments and organ donations. As she navigates this new reality, she forms unexpected bonds and discovers a sense of purpose, challenging the societal norms that dictate the value of human life.
