“Fittingly titled, as the compulsive plot will keep you turning pages, way past your bedtime. The Sleepless does what only the best science fiction can do: create a world so boldly changed—but so hauntingly true—that it teaches us much about our own.” —Sam J. Miller, Nebula Award winning author of Blackfish City

“Move over Minority Report. Victor Manibo’s The Sleepless has everything I want in a near-future whodunit: an irresistible ‘what if’ premise, a twisty and desperate murder investigation, and a razor-sharp examination of the chillingly recognizable dark side of a seemingly bright future. The Sleepless delivers on its promise; I could not close my eyes.” —Fonda Lee, author of the Green Bone Saga 

“Manibo has crafted a sharp, immersive dose of speculative fiction, a potent blend of science fiction and noir. The Sleepless will prove its name: you won’t be able to put it down, even as bedtime beckons.” —Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity

“A meditative near-future thriller that explores grief, meaning, and time in a world that’s terrifyingly plausible.” —Lincoln Michel, author of The Body Scout

“The Sleepless is an expertly crafted tale of exploitation and deceit set within the eldritch horror of a neverending capitalist grind.” —K. M. Szpara, author of First, Become Ashes

"The Sleepless is just the beginning; Victor Manibo is an author to keep your eye on." —Lara Elena Donnelly, author of The Amberlough Dossier and Base Notes

“A fascinating murder mystery set in a world plagued by an epidemic of insomnia, The Sleepless is the corporate thriller our dystopias deserve. Manibo asks not merely how such a pandemic would change our society, but how the corrupt systems would exploit and perpetuate it.” —John Wiswell, Nebula-winning author of, “Open House on Haunted Hill”

“The Sleepless is the best kind of science fiction; it holds a mirror up to society and digs deep into what makes us human. A knockout of a debut that makes me excited for whatever Manibo does next.” —Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse and The Paradox Hotel

"A tale of insidious, corporate-capitalist implications . . . and the human consequences of a life without dreams." —Booklist

“[A] thoughtful debut . . . Manibo neatly dissects the drawbacks of capitalist demands on society in this taut near-future procedural.” —Publishers Weekly
