"Typical of the silo. Plastic life. Artificial. It's all fake. The grow lights in the dirt farms. The motors that cycled water from the down-deep up through the hydroponic gardens. The heating. The wall screen up on the to floor that showed the bleak and desolate outside. But is was more than just those things. It was the chits and the economy and the endless stairs and the lottery and the jobs--all of those things revolving  (like the stairs in the silo) around maintaining that plastic life. "Michael has done it again in a style that all his own. He has take the silo series and added a new flavor making the reader think in new ways about those who, for the very act of expressing their feelings in the form of written thought are punished because it fails to line up with what is expected from society, or better yet, the authorities. In the first of this series, Micheal takes us to the height of suspense and leaves us hanging on wanting more. I couldn't put it down and now I can't wait for the next book to come out.I would suggest that to get the most out of this, you read the silo series, by Hugh Howey, but it is a great read by itself.
