Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy psychological thrillers with a sci-fi edge where the protagonist gradually uncovers a conspiracy by questioning small, seemingly normal details.
  • You're drawn to dystopian stories that explore surveillance culture and the blurred line between reality and performance, especially in institutional settings.
  • You appreciate unreliable narrators or protagonists who distrust their own perceptions, and the slow-burn reveals that come with them.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer fast-paced action plots over internal discovery and gradual unravelling of mysteries.
  • You want romance as a central plot driver rather than a secondary element in a thriller.
  • You're looking for a standalone novel rather than the first book in a trilogy.

About this book

The Forge School is the country's most prestigious arts school, with a unique model: students' lives are televised as part of the popular Forge Show, and their schedules include twelve hours of induced sleep designed to enhance creativity. When first-year student Rosie Sinclair skips her sleeping pill, she discovers something is wrong at Forge. She suspects sinister activities are occurring below the reach of the cameras. More troubling, she begins to notice that her own consciousness feels altered. As she investigates, she uncovers a disturbing secret about what the school is truly doing—and what it means to dream there. This dystopian thriller explores themes of surveillance, reality as performance, and how human perception shapes reality itself. The novel raises ethical and moral questions about science while following a narrator who is skeptical of the world around her.
