Details

Wool by Hugh Howey (576 pages)
Genre: Science Fiction • Dystopian • Post-Apocalyptic

Summary:
In a future where the world outside is deadly and toxic, humanity survives deep underground in a massive silo. Every rule is meant to protect the people—but also to keep them silent. When one woman dares to ask questions and uncover the truth, the walls of this fragile society begin to crack.

Wool is a haunting, slow-burn dystopia told across five interconnected novellas, each peeling back another layer of the mystery. It’s the story that inspired the hit Apple TV+ series Silo—a gripping blend of secrecy, survival, and human resilience in a world that feels all too possible.
