Wool

I picked this up on a bit of a whim, thanks to Amazon's Kindle deals. In short, the story takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where everyone lives in underground silos. The majority of the inhabitants don't know what happened to get everyone in the silos, nor how many others there may be (in fact most people don't even know there are others).

The story is told through multiple perspectives, of a variety of characters. In the world of the silos, all is not what it seems, and information is the most powerful commodity.

Hugh Howey tells a compelling, though quite dark, story of the future. Trust me, don't pick this book up of you are expecting a triumphal conclusion, full of butterflies and flowers.

However, if you are interested in some well written, post-apocalyptic science fiction, you could do a lot worse. I quite enjoyed Wool.
