I’m currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It’s pretty decent I’ve been making very rapid progress as it’s been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven’t seen the Apple show, but maybe I’ll watch it in the future when I’ve finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

    I recently finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and Wool by Hugh Howey, currently reading Shift. We had the Silo trilogy in our bookshelf for years, but it was only after watching the Apple TV show I decided to read it.

    I have a somewhat newfound low for hard sci-fi and would love any recommendations folks have.

      Have you read The Expanse series? That’s incredible.

      I recommend the TV show too as it is different in some ways and the cast is absolutely amazing (genuinely one of the best sci-fi shows ever made).

        I started watching the TV show, but didn’t really get into it. That said, I took me three tries to get into The Wire so I wouldn’t hold that against it.

        Maybe I’ll have better luck with the book series, will check it out.

          The expanse is the best Sci fi I’ve read in a VERY long time. Read the first book and see if you change your mind. I haven’t met anyone who read the books who didn’t love it.
