Synopsis

Watch Silo, the new Apple TV+ sci-fi series starring Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Robbins!The first book in the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling 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.

Goodreads review by Mario the lone bookwolf on September 18, 2021

Who would have thought that a small flat with unfriendly neighbors was an imposition should try this very close underground living real reality tv version without an alternative, except certain death. Whenever society goes underground for whatever reason, there seems to be this tendency to lunatic a......more

Goodreads review by Maciek on May 26, 2023

I don't get the hype. If you'd judge a book by its rating on Goodreads and Amazon, you should consider Wool to be a science fiction miracle - the vast majority of Goodreaders gave it 5 stars, and on Amazon it currently holds an astonishing 3,740 five star reviews - with new ones appearing every day.......more

Goodreads review by Michael on July 16, 2023

UPDATED AT END FOR NEW APPLETV SHOW Admittedly, this is not my genre, but someone on GR strongly suggested it (who?) and I just finished it. Wool is the first volume of a trilogy (apparently, the 2nd volume is a prequel and the 3rd is the sequel to the first.) The plot is interesting, dystopian futur......more
