A society lives in a silo. The outside world is uninhabitable and it's a punishment to go outside - to die.

This is a story about the lives and deaths of those in the silo. It's a story about who rules the silo, about a closed ecosystem and about what's outside.

This was an adventure! I discovered HH through a book with novellas. He has a really captivating writing style. I loved the idea of the silo and how it works!

Rereading this and loving it just as much as the first time. It brings forth all the emotions in a world that at first seems different from our own but ends up with many parallels both inspiring and haunting. Well written and immersive. 

The ending might be a little pat, but the journey to get there is so deftly traveled that I honestly don't know that it matters how the story ends.
