What do You think about Wool Omnibus (Silo, #1) (2013)?
Wool Omnibus is the collection of the five novellas (and you have to read all five!) about a post-apocalyptic world where life is lived in a 100-story silo, with only a few windows to look out at the "real world." The windows need periodic cleaning, so criminals are suited up and sent outside to clean them, never allowed to return. This has happened without fail for hundreds of years, until that one person comes along who doesn't want to live by the same old rules. Just questioning the status quo is enough to have you marked as a "cleaner," but that's Juliette, our heroine. Hugh Howey has done it all: both the characters and the plot are well developed, the prose is excellent, the storyline is intriguing. Put it all together and you have a gripping story that will keep you turning the pages when you should be doing something else.

If you haven't read this book yet, put it at the top of your list. This is one of my favorite books of the last 10 years. Although it is sci-fi, the wonderful character and world development makes this a fascinating story even for those who usually avoid sci-fi like the plague. You truly care about these people, wonder how their world ever got like this, and wonder if we could be headed toward the same. READ IT.
