Wool seems to be the primary source material for the first season of Silo, as the first two episodes of the series show us Holston’s story and introduce us to silo mechanic Juliette, who becomes a major character in the other four novellas. If you’re already intrigued by the premise of this series from the first two episodes and can’t wait to learn more about his world, then you’re in luck – Silo is based on a series of books by Hugh Howey that already has three novels released, and a fourth on the way. The sensors that show the barren wasteland on the other side of the airlock do a pretty good job of deterring even the more curious citizens of the silo, but there are still those who question whether what they see outside is reality. People are permitted to explore the outside if they demand it, but there are no take-backs once the request has been made.
The silo’s inhabitants don’t know how the world became toxic or who built the silo that became their salvation, nor are they allowed to ask questions about it. The Apple TV+ series Silo is set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has been forced into an underground silo because the outside world has become toxic.
They may have tried to believe it, deferred thinking about it or whatever other mental gymnastics required, but in the end, I doubt they would have.This article contains spoilers for the first two episodes of Silo. Though only a few people were “in the know” about the planned self-termination of the Silo, I also think that some of the crazy power-mad members in the know had no intention of actually carrying it out. So, in comparison, my books are each about the size of the combined episodes for each WOOL, SHIFT and DUST.Īs to Silo One, a secret part of me agrees with you on that. I did try to join them up, but it was over 850 pages in print and that was too big. Deep Dark and Dark Till Dawn are both well over 80K words (approx 330 pages dense print) and Flying Season for the Mis-Recorded is a reader-requested tie-in novella of something like 24K words (which is why it is only 99 cents). I’m so glad you’re liking the Silo 49 Series! As to length, Going Dark is something like 44K words (I think the first Wool episode was originally 12K? Maybe 20K?). I try to answer every one of those I can. Many of you have had fascinating questions, suppositions and even suggestions for future outcomes. I tell you, those notes from readers mean a heck of a lot. Most of you have said great things and that you have enjoyed the books. And then a lot of people started writing to me. Mostly because I couldn’t figure out the majority of widgets and that one was easy. On my other site, my oh-so-beginner site,, I put this handy dandy Contact Me! widget in. He came back with an email with a single word on it, “MOAR!”. I wrote a very short, maybe 20K words, version of these three books. One day I was telling a fellow Woolian, (I totally got him hooked on it), and he asked me to write it and send it to him so we could discuss it. Not tooting my horn or anything, but I did figure out the ending long before DUST. Over time and with subsequent releases, I refined it and expanded it in my head to encompass pretty much the entire series as it stands now. By the time I closed the book, I was creating these people in my head. While reading the WOOL 2 novella (oh yeah, I was an early reader of the WOOL saga), I had a pretty strong inkling of what was going to happen. I started the Silo 49 story before I even knew it was a story. Silo 49 is a series of books that explores one of those places. He has graciously allowed many others to explore those untouched silos and hidden gems. Within the confines of his stories, we are left with big questions about what happened to everyone else in his world. The Silo 49 Series was written with the permission of Hugh Howey, the creator of the WOOL Universe.
