Restless State: A Psychological Science Fiction Dystopia in a World Without Sleep

By Heidi Fraser

A psychological dystopian thriller about human experimentation, control, and a world where sleep has been erased.

They took her sleep.
They took her dreams.
Her body says they took something else.

After waking from forced sedation in a medical facility, Victoria's world shifts to a dystopian nightmare. Her body is altered. Her mind is perpetually alert. A fresh surgical scar hints at a procedure no one will confirm.

Nuvo Tech, the global pharmaceutical leader behind Dostal-a drug that eliminates sleep in exchange for endless consciousness-has redefined what it means to be human. But beneath its glossy promises lies a darker agenda, and Victoria may be the key to uncovering it.

Stripped of rest, robbed of memory, and haunted by a world addicted to wakefulness, Victoria begins to unravel the truth she was never meant to remember.

She knows what they took, and she won't rest until she gets it back.

As wakefulness becomes the new normal, the cost to society could be fatal.

"A speculative fiction novel that exposes the cost of control when humanity becomes the experiment."
