What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

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.

Critics Review

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.
Daily Express
Well written, tense, and immensely satisfying, Wool will be considered a classic for many years in the future.
WIRED
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.
The Slate
Brilliantly written . . . Howey creates a starkly believable and terrifying apocalypse.
Sunday Express
Wool is incredible . . . the best science fiction series I've read in years.
Douglas Preston
Claustrophobic and, at times, genuinely terrifying.
Washington Post

I've watched Apple's TV version of this book 'Silo' and thought to listen to the book after finishing the latest series. This book is fantastic, much better than the already brilliant TV show.

An interesting tale of surviving in a bunker.
The thought of people having to live like this is not an attractive one.
