The Immortalists asks the question: If you knew the date of your death, how would you live your life? In 1969 New York, there is such a woman who can tell you that. She’s a traveling psychic who claims to be able to tell people the day they will do. The Gold children are curious and all sneak out to hear their futures. The prophecies that they each hear shapes their futures through the next five decades. Each of the four children has their own ambitions: Simon heads to San Francisco, Klara becomes a magician, Daniel becomes an army doctor, and Varya focuses on longevity research.

The Anatomy of Dreams was Benjamin’s debut novel. The book sees a bookish student named Sylvie who falls in love with a classmate named Gabe. The two volunteer themselves for an experiment that will change everything. Dr. Adrian Keller is their headmaster and a medical researcher who teaches his patients to become conscious during sleep to relieve stress and trauma. The two are consumed by his work and follow him around the country. The three make their way to the Midwest where they stumble into a tangled relationship with their mysterious neighbors. Sylvie begins to find doubts in the ethics of Keller’s research and will need to find out what is real and what isn’t, who can be trusted and who cannot.
