Synopsis "Wool [tv Tie-In]: The Inspiration for Silo Seasons one and Two―A Heart-Pounding Thriller of Survival and Betrayal in a Dystopian World of Darkness (Silo, 1)"

NOW A SERIES ON APPLE TV+ THAT STEPHEN KING CALLS "MYSTERIOUS AND TERRIFICALLY SUSPENSEFUL.... EXCELLENT SCIENCE FICTION WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL CHARACTERS."*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 ExpressThe 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 Post

Hugh Howey is a former bookseller who has achieved his dream: writing and being able to live off it, thanks to his bestseller Wool. He currently lives in Jupiter, Florida, with his wife, Amber, and his dog, Bella.
In 2011, the online bookstore Amazon witnessed the birth of a new sales phenomenon on its website, on par with Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James. Wool (originally titled Wool) was self-published by its author, Hugh Howey, in electronic format and within a few months had positioned itself among the top spots on The New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists. Given the expectations created and backed by an unprecedented public and critical success, the publisher Simon & Schuster decided to acquire the paper publication rights and launched the book to the market last March.

Wool was originally published as five short stories; the success achieved with the first of the tales was what motivated Howey to continue developing the world he had created. With the strategy of serial publication, and thanks to word-of-mouth, Howey managed to attract new followers with each new publication.
This was the beginning of Wool, a phenomenon that has sold 500,000 eBooks on Amazon and will be published in eighteen countries. The film rights to the book have been acquired by Century Fox and the big screen adaptation will feature production by Ridley Scott and screenwriter Steven Zaillian (responsible for works such as Schindler's List or Gangs of New York).
