Sand by Hugh Howey

3.5

adventurous emotional tense medium-paced

---

This is a dystopian, Sci-Fi, thriller that takes place in a futuristic America covered in sand. One career that arose in response to civilization being buried is sand divers. These people use tech designed to displace and repulse the sand so they can uncover lost treasures feet below the surface. This causes a race to find buried buildings not yet picked over for valuable parts. Naturally this creates tension and organizations of people pitted against each other, but are they the real enemies? Or is there a larger puppet master behind the sandy haze?
