I have not read the Wool series but from what I sense in Michael Bunker's foray into the Wool world, in Refuse, is that that it has much in common with Michaels' other offerings.  Such that I am not so sure it was much of a stretch for Michael to write about a world that is as we see in his new book.I titled the review "No Place to Hide" because in a Silo there is no place to hide.  To be a revolutionary, in the Silo, is not about escape but about living out ones convictions with the spectre of reprisal.  There is much in this  idea that we should be able to empathize with in today's world that by its globalization via technology and other means truly leaves little, if any, room to hide.  When there is no place to hide one finds out who is truly a revolutionary.Without giving away the story Refuse is about such a world.  One where all is controlled so that what is allowed is seemingly for the collective good when in truth it is for the control of the collective.  Sound familiar to what you see around you today, it should?  Thus what I found intriguing about Refuse is that while the story seems to be some time in the future in truth it could be today if one just pays attention.  We may not live in a Silo with walls around us, such as with a Silo, but there are virtual walls erected daily by many entities that have any number of motives.I am looking for more to come on this world in the Silo.
