In a ruined and unsafe land in the future, people live in silos underground. There are strict rules and procedures. But what happens to those who don’t follow properly? What happens when people question what’s really outside the silo? 

This was such an interesting read!!! Sci-fi isn’t normally my preferred genre but after rave reviews for a long while from a close friend I finally dove in! I loved the internal politics and every time I thought I would consider a DNF because it didn’t seem like it was holding my attention enough - there was another twist! EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Amazing! Is it enough to make me want to read the second book in the trilogy?? I still don’t know. Someone needs to tell me to do it I think or I just might not ever do it. 🤷‍♀️ It’s easy to see how this is such a modern sci-fi classic!
