A mysterious pandemic causes a quarter of the world to permanently lose the ability to sleep—without any apparent health implications. The outbreak creates a new class of people who are both feared and ostracized, most of whom optimize their extra hours to earn more money.

A murder mystery with some light cyberpunk and a dash of insomnia.
ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
What would happen if humans became sleepless? Yes, people could work longer and earn more money, learn new skills, spend more time with loved ones. However, the impact on our planet, the increased food consumption.. is it really a good change?
We follow Jamie, who after a traumatic loss, finds his boss dead. The story grips you from the beginning and doesn't let you go. We learn and investigate along with Jamie to find out the truth about the death and the sleepless secret.
I really enjoyed this one. The characters are well developed and there are plenty twists and turns to keep you guessing.
Overall I give this 4/5 - highly recommend for detective thriller lovers with a cyberpunk twist
