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).

N.K. Jemisen is one of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy writers. If you like her style and world building I'd highly recommend the Broken Earth trilogy.

It took me quite some time to get past the rocky (hah) start, the absolute lack of all but the barest exposition, but once I did...wow.

And I recognize the talent and skill it takes to make that work. Very risky to do, but it damn sure paid off.
