Has anyone else read the “Silo” SiFi series? Plot is that in the near future a political cabal unleashes nukes and a nano-plague during the Democrat convention in Atlanta. The delegates, who were in the process of a planned tour of survival silos in the area, are locked in to “protect” them from Armageddon. They and their descendants are left for hundreds of years to be purged of any ideas of freedom, while the cabal leaders are in hibernation.

I read the entire series and highly recommend it to you SiFi fans. There is a whole lot more to it than the brief but good summery posted by Martin Tell. It's actually a series of novellas, but you can get it all lumped into three books ("Wool", "Shift", and "Dust"). It's fast-paced and the surprises keep getting better and better all the way through.

Yes, loved the books by Hugh Howey. The idea that each level of a buried circular Silo was designated for food, IT, living quarters, school, etc.
