On a recent morning commute I began to seriously consider why I knew I was awake as opposed to dreaming. Suddenly the world was spinning., Rebekah Bergman seems to be asking the same question. Ancient human remains were discovered in a series of caves on fictional Marks Island, where a museum now resides. The museum, an archive of the human settlement that lived in the area around the caves tens of thousands of years prior, acts as a fulcrum connecting all of the characters in Bergman’s novel.
Central to the story are two identical twins, one of whom falls into a deep and irreversible sleep after ingesting a strange type of algae one summer afternoon. The same algae is a key ingredient in a new pharmaceutical treatment that promises to stop aging altogether. Bergman is a master at bringing multiple characters to life in a slow burn of a story filled with small, often mundane, moments of connection within a rapidly changing, dysfunctional world.

Balancing those twin demands is a key challenge for U.S. President Joe Biden as his administration seeks to prevent leaks while protecting U.S. security and ensuring allies fearful of exposure keep sharing intelligence. The conflict has been raised anew following the FBI arrest on Thursday of Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old U.S. Air Force National Guard employee, in connection with damaging online leaks of dozens of highly secret U.S. documents that purportedly disclose sensitive details ranging from Ukraine's military weaknesses to information about U.S. allies.
