'A gripping, Kafkaesque foray into an all-too-plausible future ... An elegant meditation on identity, motherhood, and what we sacrifice, unthinkingly, for the sake of convenience' JENNIFER EGAN'Extraordinary ... More than just a political warning; the book is an exploration of the psyche itself, the strange ungovernable forces of fate and emotion that make us human' RUMAAN ALAMIn a world without privacy, what is the cost of freedom?Sara is returning home from a conference abroad when agents from the Risk Assessment Administration pull her aside at the airport and inform her that she will commit a crime. Using data from her dreams, their algorithm has determined that she presents an imminent risk to the person she loves most, and must now be transferred to a retention centre for twenty-one days to lower her 'risk score'. But when Sara arrives at Madison to be observed alongside other dangerous dreamers, it soon becomes clear that getting home to her family is going to cost more than just three weeks of good behaviour. And as every minor misdemeanour, every slight deviation from the rules, adds time to her stay, she begins to wonder if there might be more here than first meets the eye. Then, one day, a new resident arrives, disrupting the order of the facility and setting off a chain of events that lead Sara on a collision course with the companies that have deprived her of her freedom.The Dream Hotel is a gripping speculative mystery about the seductive dangers of the technologies that are supposed to make our lives easier. As terrifying as it is inventive, it explores how much we can ever truly know those around us - even with the most invasive surveillance systems in place.

Following the career of the Irish lace designer and inspector Emily Anderson (1856-1948), and exploring the contemporary relevance of her work, this book charts a path through the many institutions, organizations, philanthropic initiatives and government bodies that supported, promoted and monitored the crafting and design of lace in Ireland from the late 19th century onwards.The story of lace's introduction in Ireland to provide work and sustenance during the Irish Famine is a well-known element of social history, yet the development of the craft - as a set of techniques and designs, with a supporting infrastructure of inspection and education - has never been the subject of a comprehensive study. Where did designs for Irish lace come from? Who decided how and to whom it would be taught? How were the aesthetics and institutions of lace design and lacemaking shaped by contemporary concerns about gender, politics and class? This interdisciplinary book gathers little-studied textual and material sources to explore these questions, informed by recent critical work in craft and design studies as well as by pattern books and local, embodied knowledge from practitioner communities.This narrative highlights the craft's development and cultural meaning as well as its interconnectedness with deeply politicized, gendered and class-based discourses surrounding design, education, taste and industry. Weaving together a network of exchanges between Irish institutions such as the Cork School of Art, Irish Agricultural Organisation Society, and Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction, and by following Anderson's career, author Molly-Claire Gillet traces early feminism in craft and how lace facilitated a path to female professionalization in Irish industry. The book concludes with a consideration of contemporary Irish lacemaking - now proudly claimed as a part of Ireland's intangible cultural heritage - and charts a shift through the 20th century in the conception of lace design as 'art for industry', and lacemaking as an economic necessity to both practices as expressions of identity, creativity and networked community-building.
The issue of personal loneliness is an acute challenge in the 21st century, and any response faces the initial problems of definition and language in discussing such intensely private matters. The essays in this volume turn to ancient prose and poetry in the search for such articulation, as the Hebrew Bible offers a deep pool for reflections about terminology, the diversity within the lonely crowd, and the overlap between loneliness and theology. Always aware of the cultural divide between ancient and contemporary contexts, the contributors pursue an interdisciplinary path via areas such as psychology and sociology, while also focusing on the role of gender, ecology, or space, and exploring the spirituality of the Bible's lonely portrayals. This range of perspectives, and the wide scope of lonely individuals within the Hebrew Bible, raises awareness for the reality and complexity of loneliness and puts into words the pain, problems, and possibilities of this highly relevant phenomenon.
