Sleepless by Charlie Huston

4.0

L.A., the near future, and the world has been infected with a prion similar to mad cow disease, called the Sleepless Prion (SLP). Parker Haas, a police officer, and his wife Rose have recently had a baby and Rose was subsequently diagnosed with the disease. They are not sure if the baby, who doesn't sleep well if at all, has contracted SLP. Parker is given a new assignment with the LAPD that will put him squarely in the center of the shady world of the corporation that has formulated a treatment for SLP. This work of speculative fiction is well written and a fascinating look at a world gone amok.
