Books similar to Wool, or the vaults in Fallout? (lemmy.world)

I really like the lore behind the vaults in the Fallout games. The only book I know that's somewhat similar is Wool, are there any others?

Silo is the name of the full series of books. It started with a short story called Wool.

TIL 😉

Ah, TIL indeed. Do you recommend starting with the short story? Or just diving into the main novels?

The short story is the first part of the first book, also called wool, so you can do both at the same time !

It’s kind of confusing at first, but the first two books in the 3-book Silo series were originally released as short stories that were eventually combined into “omnibus” editions. So if you want to read the trilogy (which you should, they’re great) you want to read Wool omnibus, Shift omnibus, and Dust. If each book you’re looking at is ~500 pages, you’ve got the right one.
