The Dream Hotel

Lindsay

I have done nothing wrong, Sara thinks. It’s only that the line of legality has moved, and now I’m on the wrong side of it.

That they have committed no crime is beside the point. In any case crime is relative, its boundaries shifting in service of the people in power.

We blame the algorithm for our predicament, she thinks, but the algorithm was written by people.

To be a woman was to watch yourself not just through your own eyes, but through the eyes of others.

i hope i never end up in the dream hotel saw trap

really haunting and aching and brilliantly written, i am both scared and fascinated by the possibility of dreams being sold and exploited in this way. as someone who is pursuing archival and historical work/studies, the exploration of sara's character and the fragility of memory scratched my brain in such a particular way.
