Hugh Howey's "Wool"

There's been no shortage of attention for Hugh Howey's book "Wool" - both because it's a fascinating story (reviews here, here, and here) of a dystopian future where society's surviving inhabitants are forced to live underground in massive silos and because it's turned the publishing industry on its head. The book was self-published as a short story back in 2011, and grew into a full novel in response to fan demand. In fact, it was already a best-seller when Simon & Schuster swooped in to grab the publishing rights. Famed director Ridley Scott has also acquired the movie rights to the book.
