The air outside is deadly. The people inside must do everything to obey the rules of their home and evade being the one who contributes to the next cleaning – and being forced to go outside. But when the people begin to wonder about what life could really be like outside their underground home, things begin to change for the worse…or possibly for the better. Wool tells the story of a post-apocalyptic world where nothing is quite as it seems.

Frightening, fascinating and moving, the story of Wool shows a unique wonder at the core traits of humanity – and what holds it together. This fast-paced novel depicts a detailed world of secrets and regret, and its gripping characters push the plot forward. Wool provides context for the questions we have today as a society – but in a futuristic setting. This book is recommended for anyone looking for a transfixing world built off both imagination and enticement.
