Books:
Wool/Shift/Dust by Hugh Howey. A well written, immersive post apocalyptic fiction that has a satisfying conclusion.
The Passage/The Twelve/The City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin. Pretty much the same as above.
The Century Trilogy by Ken Follett. A huge read that spans almost a century (from just prior WW1 to the late 20th century), accompanying the same families from several different countries and embedding them into significant world events of the 20th century. Really well written and enjoyable.
My issue with the silo trilogy is the end kinda drags on a little bit and you're just waiting for it to come. Otherwise I really like those books. There's also a show Thats Apparently really good too!
