Surrealist fiction. Jonathan Abernathy is crushed with debt. But when a government loan "forgiveness program" offers him a literal dream job, it seems like an answer to his problems...

Scientists have found a way to enter a person's dreams (leveraging a collective consciousness) and, of course, Corporate America has taken ownership of this in order to help improve their bottom line. Enter Jonathan: His new job entails entering the minds of middle-class workers while they sleep and removing the bad feelings and memories from their unconscious, so they can be better workers and not distracted with all that emotional stuff. He's just happy to have a way out of his debt and can ignore the warning signs until he is tasked with removing memories from his friend, Rhoda, which causes him to reconsider things.
For people who don't like reading dream sequences, this is not for you. There are a lot of dreams in here, especially in the middle of the book. The last fourth has a horror element, which I enjoyed.
