Wool (Silo #1 of 3) [B1840]

2013 PB in nice clean condition. "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 Silo trilogy (NOW ON APPLE TV+), Wool is the story of mankind clawing for survival in a toxic post-apocalyptic world. The view of it is limited, talk of it forbidden, as 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 that launches a gripping science fiction mystery. Tugging this thread may uncover the truth . . . or it could kill every last human alive.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Loved this book. Even though I've seen the first two seasons of the show, which this book covers, and there were significant differences, they both stand on their own. Can't wait to read the next two books. And I'm so glad the show is not only doing the book justice, but bringing something new to the story in a way that doesn't detract from the original."; "That's pretty good! Not usually my cup of tea as a genre but the world building and and characters more than make up for that. The use of different characters perspectives to tell the story I especially liked and was actually really valuable. So excited for the rest of the series!"; "Superb! A wonderful dystopian story. Can't wait to read books #2 and #3 in the Silo series. I have to say I much prefer the book to the Apple TV+ show. It feels far more organized and the characters feel more real. I highly recommend reading this, whether you have seen the show or not."
