An epic story of survival at all odds, soon to be a major Apple TV series.

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

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.

About the author

Hugh Howey

Hugh Howey spent eight years living on boats and working as a yacht captain for the rich and famous. It wasn't until the love of his life carried him away from these vagabond ways that he began to pursue literary adventures, rather than literal ones.

Hugh wrote and self-published the Wool trilogy, which won rave reviews and praise from readers, and whose three books have gone on to become international bestsellers.

He lives in Jupiter, Florida, with his wife Amber and their dog Bella.

Praise for Wool

Thrilling, thought-provoking and memorable . . . one of dystopian fiction's masterpieces alongside the likes of 1984 and Brave New World.

Daily Express

Exhilarating, intense, addictive. A novel you will never forget.

SJ Watson

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

Well written, tense, and immensely satisfying, Wool will be considered a classic for many years in the future.

WIRED

Brilliantly written . . . Howey creates a starkly believable and terrifying apocalypse.

Sunday Express

Wool is frightening, fascinating, and addictive. In one word, terrific.

Kathy Reichs

Wool is incredible . . . the best science fiction series I've read in years.

Douglas Preston

Claustrophobic and, at times, genuinely terrifying.

Washington Post

Exhilarating, intense, addictive. A novel you will never forget.

SJ Watson

The characters are well-drawn, and even the villains have a sympathetic side. Secrets unfold with just the right pacing, and I had to set the book down several times and say, ‘Wow,’ when a major twist was revealed ... If you're looking for a good read, you can't do much better than Wool.
