I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.

I haven't seen the Apple show, but maybe I'll watch it in the future when I've finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

Thirding the recommendation and adding The Stranger Times. It's urban fantasy as well, but from the perspective of a Manchester tabloid about weird news where the people working there have to realize that the stuff they are writing about might actually be real.

Reading that right now and while it took a bit of time to get going, it really grows on you while reading it. Mostly because the characters are interesting.
