NOW A SERIES ON APPLE TV+ THAT STEPHEN KING CALLS "MYSTERIOUS AND TERRIFICALLY SUSPENSEFUL.... EXCELLENT SCIENCE FICTION WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL CHARACTERS."
*
INCLUDES ORIGINAL NEW ESSAY "A HISTORY OF THE DARKEST YARNS" FROM HUGH HOWEY*
"One of dystopian fiction's masterpieces alongside the likes of 1984 and Brave New World." — Daily Express
The first book in the acclaimed,
New York Times best-selling trilogy,
Wool is the story of mankind clawing for survival. The world outside has grown toxic, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. The remnants of humanity live underground in a single silo.
But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they want: They are allowed to go outside.
After the previous sheriff leaves the silo in a terrifying ritual, Juliette, a mechanic from the down deep, is suddenly and inexplicably promoted to the head of law enforcement. With newfound power and with little regard for the customs she is supposed to abide, Juliette uncovers hints of a sinister conspiracy. Tugging this thread may uncover the truth . . . or it could kill every last human alive.
"Claustrophobic and, at times, genuinely terrifying." — Washington Post

The Penny Arcade guys loved it.
Apple made a bajillion dollar show off it.
The author is nearly a household name from it.
This is where it started.
As a note, there's a collection of short stories he has that includes stories from the SILO world. One of them is technically a sequel. The author's note after that short is one of the best bits of advice on writing ever... but it absolutely shouldn't be read until after the trilogy and story. Worth the journey.

I agree. They can do better showing the source of books and audiobooks. If you have rented something in the past they sometimes still show it as part of your library and it gets confusing.
I had an issue last week where Amazon system said I have an audiobook in my library, but it wouldn't let me download it. On both the app and website it said 'In your library'. I called them about it and then they mentioned I had downloaded the book at some time as part of the Audible premium library (that has a selection of books in catalog to rent at any time).
I was pissed cause I passed on spending a credit on the book when I was an audible member and I had credits, since I thought I already owned the book outright. And now I wanted to start the series but couldn't since I wasn't a member anymore. I had 14 of 15 books in the series, all except the first one!
I gave them feedback that when a person is a member and gets books from the premium collection, they ought to state - 'rented from collection', instead of 'In your library'; which is the same moniker they give to books your own outright. When you have been a member for years and have hundreds of books in your library you can't keep track of what you own vs what you rent. Moreover, I couldn't understand why it still showed the book as being in my library when I didn't have audible membership any more. Such a poorly designed system. They rolled out a new feature without thinking it through 😒.
For the second book, once you get through the Mission section, it gets noticeably better imo.
Haven't read the third yet.

The first book is a slog until the end. The second is a prequeal that explains the first book. The third book picks up at the end of the first book.
The show.... wasn't bad. but definitely not as good as the book. (that's almost always the case lol)
in general the actors were decent, but it sure reeked of diversity quota. just all apple/disney/netflix etc do now. if one were to guess based on media, they'd think america is 75% black, 90% gay, and any straight white male you encounted would be a hapless loser.

The author-sanctioned fan fiction. Need to find if there a list of those set in Hugh Howey's silo universe.
Now after 7 episodes of the show I want to go back and read them all again.
Really wish they had just done 1 season and stayed a little closer to the book.
