For Arthur and Mick, living in the Silo, this saying is more than poignant.  This story is a follow up to the Wool series which I started reading as a Kindle Single back in the day.  Now the Wool stories have evolved to full novels, and they make fascinating reading.  Humanity is living in Silos, the same type once constructed for missiles.  The outside is toxic and destroyed, but those who threaten the security of the Silo will be sent out.This story is not really stand alone, but it follows the same society introduced in Wool.  Now the silo is flooding with no where to go.  Art and Mick are already marginal due to being gay.  Well not so much the gay thing, more the not promoting the future of humanity with children thing.  Arthur's push to challenge the status quo to find a solution is making him dangerously marginal.This novella is a welcome addition to the Wool world.  It doesn't disappoint which is saying a lot since Wool fans can be demanding in entering the silos.
