Science FictionSynopsis
Leisha Camden is one of a handful of children genetically engineered to never need sleep, granting them extra hours of productivity that set them apart from ordinary humans. As the Sleepless become increasingly superior and resented, the novel explores what the productive members of society owe to those who have nothing to offer but need — the "beggars in Spain."
