 I love all books that involve "trapping a bunch of people in a restricted place to see how would they act"...would they let their animalistic nature take control or would they submit to human rationality, logic and compassion?

Stephen King mastered this storyline in his The Mist and Under the Dome
so reading another writer presenting the art of Dystopian Psychological Thriller was exciting

I do not want to spoil this book because it is best going into it blind
I will just say that I loved the questions it poses

Are humans better than any other species or creations?
When push comes to pull, would you kill few to preserve the many?
How much influence and control are we willing to give to machines?
Is it sometimes better to trust blindly or posing questions can be dangerous?
When does the line between Machines and the Subconscious blur?

I knew I loved the book when I was reading every word and every paragraph
