SUMMARY:Books & Bites: The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Books & Bites\, our book club held at a different 
 local restaurant each month!\n\nThis month we'll discuss The Dream Hotel by 
 Laila Lalami.  We will meet at 6:30 p.m. at 1922 Coffee & Brew.\n\nAddress: 
 1505 Madison Ave.\,  Painesville\, OH 44077\n\nCopies of next month's book 
 will be available at this meeting. You can also pick one up at our 
 circulation desk. \n\nPublisher's summary: \n\nNATIONAL BESTSELLER ● READ 
 WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY ● From Laila Lalami—the 
 Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist and a “maestra of 
 literary fiction” (NPR)—comes a riveting and utterly original novel 
 about one woman’s fight for freedom\, set in a near future where even 
 dreams are under surveillance.\n\nSara has just landed at LAX\, returning 
 home from a conference abroad\, when agents from the Risk Assessment 
 Administration pull her aside and inform her that she will soon commit a 
 crime. Using data from her dreams\, the RAA’s algorithm has determined 
 that she is at imminent risk of harming the person she loves most: her 
 husband. For his safety\, she must be kept under observation for twenty-one 
 days.\n\nThe agents transfer Sara to a retention center\, where she is held 
 with other dreamers\, all of them women trying to prove their innocence 
 from different crimes. With every deviation from the strict and 
 ever-shifting rules of the facility\, their stay is extended. Months pass 
 and Sara seems no closer to release. Then one day\, a new resident 
 arrives\, disrupting the order of the facility and leading Sara on a 
 collision course with the very companies that have deprived her of her 
 freedom.\n\nEerie\, urgent\, and ceaselessly clear-eyed\, The Dream Hotel 
 artfully explores the seductive nature of technology\, which puts us in 
 shackles even as it makes our lives easier. Lalami asks how much of 
 ourselves must remain private if we are to remain free\, and whether even 
 the most invasive forms of surveillance can ever capture who we really 
 are.\n\nPLEASE NOTE: \n\n\n	Registration for each month's meeting is 
 required due to limited space.\n	Food and drink are not included in this 
 program. If you choose to order from the menu\, you will be responsible for
