I’m watching the series and to me it’s a little disappointing how little world building there is. In order to suspend my disbelief I need to learn some concrete things about this society and its inner workings. Food systems, waste management, air and water circulating etc. At least the people of Silo are led to believe they live in a tube, and they live by that premise. How are they convinced?

The shutdown and fixing of the turbine seemed like really shoddily executed affair by the mechanics and showrunners alike.

Do the books tell anything about these things, or do those too just whistle by and assume you don’t need to know?

Please, no spoilers – I just want to know if I should get the books.
