While this is certainly going in a dystopian direction, and it's kiiiiiinda there, it's not really enough yet. It leaves off in such a way as to make sure the reader comes back for Book 2--no real explanation of what's going on, and with more questions created than answers. 
 Well-written and well-paced, but seems to want to be The Maze Runner without actually being that. I'll probably pick up the next one, and I'll almost definitely get this one for my library collection, if just to hand to the Maze Runner fans.
