Whatever the cause, Sara now finds herself incarcerated in the California desert because an algorithm has determined she's an imminent risk. What exactly that risk may be and when and, under what conditions, she might be released, is anybody's guess.

This is the dystopian premise of Laila Lalami's gripping new novel, The Dream Hotel. In this unsettling vision of the future, a company called Dreamcloud makes brain implants that give insomniacs like Sara a better night's rest — while also harvesting valuable data from their dreams.

This ‘Elon leaving politics’ story is such bullshit. Another example of the media being stenographers instead of reporting. Musk is seeding this story in order to try to stem the hemorrhaging at Tesla.
