Hypnos' Joke

Marx said, "Sleep is the last natural barrier against the expansion of capitalism." Nowadays, this barrier seems to have become a good piece of white meat, and everyone wants to take a bite. Theologians, philosophers, scientific researchers, arms dealers, and astrology enthusiasts all competed to appear. They're going to eat sleep alive. Zhou Xiaolan, who suffers from severe insomnia, Seth, a brain science expert who focuses on cultivating immortality, Wang Chongjiu, the CEO of a sleep technology company that is about to go bankrupt, Samit, an ambitious pharmaceutical expert, and Natalie, a down-and-out astrologer. The gears of fate bring them together on Reimnos Island in the northeastern part of the Aegean Sea. This is where Hypnos, the ancient Greek god of sleep, lived and practiced. He has a twin brother, Thanatos, the god of death. No one can escape sleep, no one can escape death. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
