After expressing some hesitation, Juliette agrees to take the job. Juliette quickly proves herself to be responsible, stubborn and independent, which impresses Jahns. Jahns and Marnes meet Juliette in the Machinery zone, the lowest level of the Silo. Privately, Jahns also contemplates a relationship with Marnes. Bernard, the head of IT, demands his own preferred candidate for sheriff, but Jahns dismisses his concerns. Along the way they encounter various areas of the Silo, including the mysterious IT department. Mayor Jahns and Deputy Marnes embark on a trip to the Silo's lowest region in order to interview Juliette, their top candidate for sheriff. These events serve as a catalyst for the remaining books.Ī new sheriff is needed to replace the recently-deceased Holston. Holston dies near his wife's abandoned body. The suit's visor had been masking reality with a computer-generated image.
However, he is forced to remove his helmet when he runs out of air, and at that point he discovers that the world actually is toxic and his wife is dead. Encouraged by this sight, he happily cleans the silo's external sensors and then starts to explore the environment. He is given a protective suit and sent outside, but when he exits the silo he sees a healthy, vibrant world. Three years later, still grieving the loss of his wife, Holston also asks to go outside. She went to clean willingly, but apparently perished. Three years prior to the events of the story, Holston's wife became convinced that the outside world was actually livable and that the IT department (which runs the external sensors) had deceived the rest of the silo.
Those who are sent outdoors this way inevitably clean the sensors as instructed, but they also inevitably die a few minutes later. All residents of the Silo have been taught that the outside world is toxic and deadly, and anyone who expresses any desire to go outside is sent to clean the external sensors. Wool initially follows the story of Holston, the Silo's sheriff. The intro teaser for the book is: "If the lies don't kill you, the truth will." a totalitarian rule, rebellion of the main characters or a planned separation between human areas and wild natural spaces. Several studies frame the story within the dystopian genre, since Howey includes several of the main features of that type of literature, i.e. Book nine, Dust, pulls the storylines together.
Shift, which encompasses books six through eight, comprise a prequel to the series. An ongoing storyline of the series is the focus on the mystery behind the Silo and the secrets it holds. The series initially follows the character of Holston, the sheriff of the Silo, with subsequent volumes focusing on the characters of Juliette, Jahns, and Marnes. Humanity clings to survival in the Silo, a subterranean city extending 144 stories beneath the surface. The story of Wool takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Howey retains full rights to continue distributing Wool online himself. Howey signed a print-only deal for around $500,000 with Simon & Schuster to distribute Wool to book retailers across the US and Canada. Film rights to the series were sold to 20th Century Fox Lionsgate also expressed interest. Howey began soliciting international rights in 2012, and has since signed a deal for dramatic rights in Brazil. After the series grew in popularity, he began to write more entries for it. He published the work through Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing system, choosing to do so due to the freedom of self-publishing. Howey first began the series in 2011, initially writing Wool as a stand-alone short story.
