MODERATORS
The Hyperion series, particularly the first book has some of that. And can be read without reading the other books.
A Deadly Education series is pretty much this to an extent. And a series I love!
The Silo series is adjacent to this, I love all three books.
The Expanse series has a few books that fit the bill but you really can't skip to those books so it may not be what you're looking for.
Second Deadly education series. Novak is generally great.
If you do read Silo, beware that it will spoil the plot of the first season of the show for you in like the first 30 pages
Yes it will!
Seconding Hyperion. But adding the caveat you should consider reading the second book in the series too, at least, since the first ends a bit on a "cliffhanger" and has no conclusion really.
Thanks
