Wool: Book One of the Silo Series (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 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 Express

The 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

Insightful look at the future from a view of "a few deciding for the many".

A great piece of literature full of plenty of twists and turns. I felt some parts dragged on for longer than they should, but that's mostly a nitpick. Great book and great starter to a trilogy.

Spannende Welt und interessante Charaktere :) Mochte die Mechaniker 👨‍🔧 und ihre kleine eigene Familie! Witzig waren die bösen ITler, die allen eine fake Außenwelt vorgaukeln und qualitativ schlechte Produkte vertreiben und die guten für sich behalten 😂 alles in allem blieben viele Fragen offen: Warum gibt es alles in dieser Welt außer Aufzüge? Warum putzen Menschen, die in den Tod geschickt werden, die Sensoren/Linsen? Gute Antworten bringen wohl dir Bücher 2 & 3.
