About this deal

Del Rosario, Alexandra (August 18, 2021). " 'Wool': Tim Robbins Joins Rebecca Ferguson In Apple TV+ Series". Deadline Hollywood. Holston is the sheriff of the Silo. Three years ago, Holston's wife Allison became convinced that the outside world was livable and that the IT department, which runs the external sensors, had deceived the rest of the Silo. She went to clean willingly, but apparently perished. Still grieving the loss of his wife, Holston also asks to go outside. He is given a protective suit and sent outside, but when he exits the Silo, he sees a healthy, vibrant world. Encouraged by this sight, he happily cleans the Silo's external sensors and then explores the environment. However, he is forced to remove his helmet when he runs out of air, and at that point, he discovers that the world is actually toxic and his wife truly is dead. The suit's visor had been masking reality with a computer-generated image. Holston dies near his wife's abandoned body. The actual shape of the silo too was nothing like I imagined, I pictured it straight up and down like a massive pipe almost but it flairs out at the bottom, my mind is totally blown.

WOOL: The Graphic Novel - Hugh Howey

This contemporary dystopian classic is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: they are allowed outside. This is exactly like reading Shakespeare vs watching Modern Romeo + Juliette, speaking of Juliettes.Deahl, Rachel. "Hugh Howey's 'Wool' Nabbed By 20th Century Fox". Publishers Weekly . Retrieved September 30, 2012.

Silo (series) - Wikipedia

That’s great news about Wool going graphic. I aim to get a copy–looking forward to the artist’s interpretation of the characters and environment. I had a really talented artist for my SF book cover and 27 interior illios. Lastly, the characters. I had no connection with ANY of them. Not Holston, and his tortured self-exile into cleaning, to follow his wife. Not Juliette, in her quest to uncover the truth. Not Lukas, in learning the secrets of the Silo. They all were pale, pale, boring, flat counterparts to the novel version - but no wonder! They had to be so flat, to fit in such a short format!Dust is the third and final arc of the series, and is contained in a single book of the same name. It concludes the stories begun in Wool and Shift. Short stories (published in The Apocalypse Triptych trilogy and Howey's anthology Machine Learning [8]) Part 1 - 3 stars If you haven't read the novel, this graphic novel will be very hard to follow. And the illustrations were just ok, and not nearly the quality that I had expected. I will update my review after subsequent deliveries, but for now, I'm a bit disappointed. Wool is the first act of the series, and consists of books 1 through 5: Holston, Proper Gauge, Casting Off, The Unraveling, and The Stranded.
