Written By Charan Bashir

Sara Hussein is detained at LAX after an algorithm—using data from her sleep tracker—predicts she'll harm her husband. A 21-day "observation" stretches to ten months as rule infractions keep extending her stay at a privately run facility, alongside other women held on similar predictions.

A new arrival's disruption pushes her to fight the system holding her. Lalami's dystopian novel probes surveillance, privacy, and predictive policing.
