Great book!!!! Love the twists and turns from the author!!!! Definitely reading more from her!!!

If you ever watched the movie, Minority Report, this book has a similar take on the surveillance state. However, Lalami's presentation feels more real and prescient and less futuristic. With the rise of AI intelligence and integrated computer systems, one can easily imagine the fate of our protagonist, as she is swept up and placed in a detention center based on an algorithm's output. The book is gripping and tense at times, but also does a good job of showing us how technology can worm its way into our lives in ways we may not have imagined.
