About this listen
Nebula Award Winner, Novella, 1991
In a world where the slightest edge can mean the difference between success and failure, Leisha Camden is beautiful, extraordinarily intelligent, and one of a growing number of human beings who have been genetically modified to never require sleep.
Once considered interesting anomalies, now Leisha and the other "Sleepless" are outcasts, victims of blind hatred, political repression, and shocking mob violence meant to drive them from human society and, ultimately, from Earth itself.
But Leisha Camden has chosen to remain behind in a world that envies and fears her "gift," a world marked for destruction by a deadly conspiracy of freedom and revenge.
©1993 Nancy Kress (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.What the critics say
"A depth of imagination unusual even among science fiction writers." ( Analog)
"[T]hrilling drama, compelling dialectic." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Still Love this Series.
I love Nancy Kress' work, she has a way of pulling you in. The Sleepless Series was ahead of its time, and is a realistic prediction of a future filled with Genetic manipulation.
