NOW THE NO.1 DRAMA IN THE HISTORY OF AppleTV+, SILO.

In a ruined and hostile landscape, in a future few have been unlucky enough to survive, a community exists in a giant underground silo.

Inside, men and women live an enclosed life full of rules and regulations, of secrets and lies.

To live, you must follow the rules. But some don't. These are the dangerous ones; these are the people who dare to hope and dream, and who infect others with their optimism.

Their punishment is simple and deadly. They are allowed outside.

Jules is one of these people. She may well be the last.

Critic Reviews

Exhilarating, intense, addictive. A novel you will never forget.
Thrilling, thought-provoking and memorable . . . one of dystopian fiction's masterpieces alongside the likes of 1984 and Brave New World.
Well written, tense, and immensely satisfying, Wool will be considered a classic for many years in the future.
Wool is frightening, fascinating, and addictive. In one word, terrific. (Kathy Reichs)
A thrilling sci-fi novel, equally adept at world-building, pulling the rug out from under its readers, and commenting in classic sci-fi fashion on our own present day.
Brilliantly written . . . Howey creates a starkly believable and terrifying apocalypse.
Wool is incredible . . . the best science fiction series I've read in years. (Douglas Preston)
Claustrophobic and, at times, genuinely terrifying.

You may notice a few reviews that aren’t fully positive and I understand completely why. There is a lot of heartache for the reader in this book, connections you make with certain characters who die, unforeseen tragedy’s etc. But it is within this notion that this book shines. Life is unpredictable, happy endings aren’t always guaranteed.

This book is a MUST listen
