An epic story of life, love and survival at all odds and one of the most-talked and anticipated books of the year. In a ruined and hostile landscape, in a future few have been unlucky enough to survive, a community exists in a giant underground silo. Inside, men and women live an enclosed life full of rules and regulations, of secrets and lies. To live, you must follow the rules. But some don't. These are the dangerous ones; these are the people who dare to hope and dream, and who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple and deadly. They are allowed outside. Jules is one of these people. She may well be the last.… (més)
No és ni un llibre, un conte més aviat, una noveleta. Planteja un futur on els homes han destruït el medi ambient fins al punt de veure's obligats a viure sota terra, en sitges on viuen i treballen.
El llibre es centra en una sola història, molt breu com ja he dit, però que obre les portes d'aquest món terrible amb genialitat.
El llibre és gratuït a Amazon, però les seves seqüeles no.
No tinc clar si m'agradarà en un format més llarg, però és gairebé segur que li donaré la oportunitat de demostrar-ho. ( )

He’d only ever seen a gun once, a smaller one on the hip of that old deputy, a gun he’d always figured was more for show. He stuffed a fistful of deadly rounds in his pocket, thinking how each one could end an individual life, and understanding why such things were forbidden. Killing a man should be harder than waving a length of pipe in their direction. It should take long enough for one’s conscience to get in the way.
He sounded flustered. Juliette watched him busy about the stove, his movements jerky and manic, and realized she was the one cloistered away and ignorant, not him. He had all these books, decades of reading history, the company of ancestors she could only imagine. What did she have as her experience? A life in a dark hole with thousands of fellow, ignorant savages? She tried to remember this as she watched him dig a finger in his ear and then inspect his fingernail
