This was quite a quick burn, short and sweet. I thought the premise was super interesting but it kind of fizzled in the second half. I would have like to see it pull in more of his manuscript and explore that a little more and he saw people writing on a typewriter - so why didn't he take that opportunity to write new passages for his own gain? What was the purpose of him going to that ‘other camp' of sleepers as I felt that hindered the pace of the story.
An unexplained happening means a sleepless end for most of humanity, a blissful dream for some and, perhaps, a new generation of mute pacifists.

Codswallop!
A more literary science fiction novel about what happens when 90% of the population is suddenly unable to sleep.
