Beneath Gehenna by Benjamin X. Wretlind July 2022 LTER

I've never read this author prior to Beneath Gehenna, so, I wasn't sure what to expect. First off, I will say that I wasn't able to put it down. What started off as an alternative history of the world, turned into a dystopian vision of a post apocalyptic struggle for survival in a literal Hell on Earth, with the richest of the world's elites planning on living in luxury in an undersea bunker. The major subjects dealt with go beyond the human desire to survive - classism is studied heavily in this story, between the haves and the have nots, as well as the old money families and the newly rich. There wasn't a boring moment in this book. I highly recommend that everyone read it.
