Dreamland: A Self-Help Manual for a Frightened Nation (in the original Icelandic: Draumalandið — Sjálfshjálparbók handa hræddri þjóð) is a book by the Icelandic author Andri Snær Magnason.
Dreamland is Andri Snaer Magnason's critique against the current decision taken by the Icelandic government to dam Iceland's rivers in order to produce energy that can be delivered to aluminium smelters.
The government advertisement described Iceland's energy potential as 30 TWh/year (3.4 GW annual mean).
Magnason argues in the book that in order to accomplish this, the majority of Iceland's rivers would need to be exploited.
In the book the Icelandic nation is encouraged to look to more "futuristic" types of business than aluminium processing and to stop believing that they can't do anything for themselves.
