Well-written, meticulously conceived, richly characterised and terrifying as hell. It's just close enough to be imaginable ... She's a master storyteller, Lalami, and I can't work out why she isn't better known. The Dream Hotel just made the long-list for The Women's Prize, so hopefully she will be soon

A gripping new novel ... Intriguing

The Dream Hotel is so cleverly conceived, so relevant, that everyone should read it and sweat ... It gave me a lot to chew on. Next time I download an app, I'll be scrutinising the terms of service. Because any of us can fall foul of the algorithm

In the current political and technological climate and the seemingly endless colonisation of data, Lalami has managed to tap into the human psyche on a level that everybody can relate to. The Dream Hotel can deservedly and comfortably sit somewhere between Phillip K Dick's Minority Report and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. A powerhouse of a book that will live long in the memory
