Product Information

Donald is woken up by Thurman. He’sgroggy from being frozen. Thurman says more silos are being lost and they need his help. Senator Thurman asks Donald Keene to design a silo underground. It’s related to CAD-FAC, the Containment and Disposal Facility which will store nuclear waste. No one will allow this facility to be build without a safety net. The silo is that net. Donald wakes up Thurman and tells him he knows it’s only 200 years before Thurman plans to kill them all. Thurman believes only one silo should survive. Thurman wants the knowledge of the world ending to die with them. Donald shoots Thurman. At almost the same moment in humanity’s broad history, mankind discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened. Hugh Howey was born 1975 and raised in Monroe, North Carolina. He’d always had a love for ships, and for reading. Naturally, as Howey grew up, he had dreams of being a writer, and of course, a dream to sail across the whole world. Each summer, he would spend a week at the family beach house in North Carolina, and that’s where his passion for the sea emerged, with the wind in his hair, the sound of the waves crashing, and the salty sea air. Many of his influences include that of Robin Knox Johnston, and Bernard Moitessier, as well as a book called Maiden Voyage by Tania Aebi, which is one of his greatest influences, because it essentially emulates his own dream to become a permanent resident on the big, wide seas.

Although his life on the sea was fantastic, his love for his other half prevailed, but that didn’t mean his love for the sea was abandoned in any way. His dreams were there, to still sail all around the world, to feel that kind of freedom he loved so dearly. Troy wakes up from cryo-sleep, realises everyone he knows is dead, and is given pills to help with the trauma. Wool's hero was Juliette, a freedom-fighting mechanic born a hundred storeys underground, and the strands of Shift's split narrative take place earlier, explaining how her world came to be. We meet a 23rd-century courier whose graffiti-spattered "silo" is simmering with civil war; a Georgia congressman in the near future; an abandoned schoolboy whose story ends where Juliette's begins; and Troy, who wakes up in 2110 without remembering who he is. Production on the serialization of Wool was announced in 2012. After development was begun by AMC, the project was moved to Apple TV+ in May of 2021. Donald realises that Victor figured out what’s going on in silo 18. Some people there must remember. They need to find those people and wipe everyone’s memories.Jimmy reads some reference books that contain information about the old world, although he doesn’t know this is what they are. What if the long-term survival of the human race depended on thousands of Americans being relocated to a vast underground city, with giant TV screens broadcasting a desolate landscape outside and no one allowed to leave? In 2007, the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software platforms that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses, conduct repairs, and even self-propagate. In 2012, Howey signed a deal with Simon & Schuster to distribute Wool to book retailers across the US and Canada. The deal allowed Howey to continue to sell the book online exclusively. He notably turned down seven figure offers in favor of a mid-six figure sum, in return for maintaining e-book rights. [12] Donald Keene was recruited by the government to design an underground shelter. Over fifty years later Donald's design has been realised and the last remnants of mankind live in his silo. But no one can remember what life was like before. In fact, they're forced to forget. One simple pill erases a memory. And with it, any chance of hope.
