By the time I got to the end I had forgotten it was by Hugh Howey. I like the ideas it talks about, but I'm too much of a pessimist to believe any of it could actually happen.
User Profile
I primarily read science fiction, but I will also read some general fiction, and even an interesting autobiography.
I love The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I'm not sure if anything I'll ever read will supplant it as my favorite thing to read.

This took its sweet time to get to the interesting part, and then abruptly ended.
As my first ever H. P. Lovecraft book I have to say it hasn't exactly inspired me to read any more. I suppose I have to give him at least one more chance, though, because it seems like everyone regards him highly.

@swinstead Yep! I enjoyed it when I read it, but that was about 20 years ago. I would probably enjoy it even more now.
