What happens when ordinary men become unwitting instruments of forces they cannot see or understand? The Sleep-Walkers by David Karp is a taut, psychologically charged novel set against the backdrop of mid-twentieth century America, chronicling the story of individuals who navigate a world of hidden manipulation, conformity, and institutional power — unaware of the invisible strings that govern their lives. Karp, best known for his dystopian masterwork One, brings to this novel the same penetrating intelligence and dark wit that made him one of the most distinctive voices of postwar American fiction. His prose is precise and unsettling, presenting a world in which the mechanisms of control are both mundane and terrifying. With quiet menace and sharp social commentary, The Sleep-Walkers leaves the reader questioning just how awake — and how free — any of us truly are.
