Sleep Donation by Karen Russell
In a dystopian world plagued by a relentless insomnia epidemic, the narrative follows Trish Edgewater, a dedicated worker for the Slumber Corps, an organization that collects and redistributes sleep from donors to those in need. As Trish navigates the ethical complexities of her work, she becomes entangled in the life of "Baby A," a unique donor whose pure sleep is in high demand. The story delves into themes of exploitation, the commodification of rest, and the moral dilemmas faced by those trying to alleviate suffering in a society where sleep has become a precious and scarce resource.
