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).

Amazing series of books that are up in my top three, still trying to find time to read Leviathan Falls (the final book). The story gets crazy.

Right? It starts off all very hard sci-fi, the only "magic" is a rocket motor that makes travel around the solar system doable on story-friendly timelines.

That expectation gets broken pretty quickly, and it really is amazing how far the story goes after such a simple beginning as the incident with the Canterbury!
