The Wool Omnibus series by Hugh Howey. It is everything that science-fiction should be. Attention to every little detail, a sense of realism and connection to a world fundamentally different than ours, and developed characters with believable thoughts and actions. The writing impresses me in part because it was self-published through Amazon Kindle Direct. The story's success could indicate a shift in the way we are exposed to new literature, which is exciting.
