Publisher Description
SEASON 2 OF THE ACCLAIMED SILO SERIES — BASED ON BOOK 1, WOOL — NOW ON APPLE TV+
“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

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In Hugh Howey’s chilling postapocalyptic thriller, the toxic atmosphere has forced people to live in a 100-story silo deep beneath the earth, where they’re fed lies about the past and forbidden to dream about the future. But when mechanic Juliette ventures to the top levels of the silo, she discovers new information, threatening the status quo—and her life. The dark world Howey has created for his Wool series is eerily believable, in part because of all of the vivid visual descriptions. We could really imagine ourselves in the rickety, claustrophobic silos and feel Juliette’s anxiety. Fans of dystopian fiction will get caught up in this engrossing story.
Customer Reviews
1984 but its not hopeless
Set in a dystopian future, this story has just enough description to paint a vivid picture of a dark and mysterious world. The writing was great and the twists at the end of each chapter kept me curious to read on. More intentional and focused than the show but somehow more interesting and layered as far as character development goes. Definitely intrigued to read the second book so I would say it was worth a read.
Loved it!
Excellent! So happy I found this book, even before I knew it was shortly becoming a series. Thanks for this. Can’t wait to find out what happens in this silo…and others!
