SOON TO BE A SERIES ON APPLE TV+
*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
