Wool is a series of self-published post-apocalyptic novellas written by Hugh Howey. Originally a single short story, the surprisingly large popular reaction led to its continuation.Something has happened to the world. What, exactly, has been lost to the mists of time and the ravages of rebellion, but all one has to do is look at the screens, where images from the cameras outside are projected, and see the brown, dead landscape covered by endless black clouds to know that going outside would be suicide. Instead, everyone lives in the silo. A massive, 146-floor building dug into the earth. For countless generations everyone has lived here, being born, growing up reading some of the rare children's books that survived the last uprising, applying for permission to take a lover, winning the lottery to have a child, and then dying, having one's remains turned into fertilizer for the essential crops.In many ways the Silo is like a normal city: It has mechanics, a sheriff and deputies, a mayor, farmers, clerks, and even IT staff. The only thing it doesn't truly have is freedom. There are taboo topics, and so much as mentioning them is grounds to be sent to "cleaning", the fatal job of removing the grime and soot that coat the lenses of the external cameras, the silo's only link to the outside world.But some people don't care about taboos, they want the truth, and their actions end up setting in motion events that could well either save or destroy the entire city...An Apple TV adaptation, Silo, released on May 5, 2023. | |

He Who Fights Monsters: Arguably Bernard: He expresses extreme disgust, if not hatred, at what's been done to the world, but also sees everything he does as necessary for humanity's continued survival, even if that means adopting the tactics of those who destroyed it. | |

Character Development: Lukas, as Bernard tutors him into being the next head of IT. Instead of becoming evil and smug, Lukas just kind of finds his purpose in life and tries to learn from the mistakes of everyone's shared past. Juliette, at the same time, expands her perspective due to the events of the story and shapes her life based on that. | |

Do Not Go Gentle | |
| Wool / int_3d897748 | comment |
Do Not Go Gentle: For some reason, every condemned criminal sent out to clean ends up actually doing so. Except for Jules, who decides to go off exploring with what little time she has left, as one last gesture against all the corruption. There's slightly more to it in that the viewscreen on the environment suits fools the condemned into seeing a certain something that isn't actually there, which acts as subtle but nigh foolproof psychological incentive to clean the Silo's cameras. Juliette actually figured this out at the last minute, and so ignores the evidence of her eyes and goes to do whatever. | |

Crazy-Prepared: Some characters have questions as to how the Silo builders were seemingly the only people able to predict the Polluted Wasteland that the world would become far enough ahead to plan for it so thoroughly. Of course, it's quite easy when you planned and kickstarted the apocalypse too. | |

The Dragon: Lukas to Bernard, with the twist that Lukas is way too inoffensive to ever be evil. In fact, his natural thirst for knowledge turns it into quite a learning experience, while his grade A bullshit-dealing helps mask the fact that he is head-over-heels in love with and collaborating with The Hero and Bernard's nemesis. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Wool / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: A lot - Bernard’s arrogance and IT’s slowly revealed political power and privileges signal that they’re the actual power in the silo, and not the mayor or sheriff. The heat tape Juliette procured under the table from Supply that was intended for IT failed almost immediately - because it’s supposed to, as it’s a part of the cleaning suits sabotage to make sure all cleaners die. The overall inefficiency of the silo’s construction, especially given how even an elevator or more open digital network would solve so may problem, is because the silo is designed to allow IT to rule from behind the scenes. The Silo’s complexity, and the existence of so many others, which is unusual for a dystopian setting, is because they were built by the people who intentionally triggered the apocalypse on purpose. Multiple survivors pop up in Silo 17 after it was Shutdown. We later learn they were dosed with the good nanomachines instead of the killer ones during the gassing of the silo. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Bernard would've quietly taken control of the Silo without any trouble if he hadn't murdered a mechanic who wanted to expand the Silo downwards a few floors, which led to an investigation, which led to Jules being pegged for Sheriff. Then he does it again when he sends her out to clean, giving her a chance to become a messiah figure. Finally, there's Bernard's insistence on installing Peter Billings as Sheriff. It turns out Peter's more devoted to justice than he expected. | |

| Wool / int_b9baed0a | comment |
Lost Common Knowledge: Enough info about the past has been lost that people aren't quite sure if children's books have drawings of a blue and green earth because they're fantasy lands or because the Earth actually used to be like that. It turns out the very highest levels of IT preserved just about all of it and just keep a lid on it to limit any potential sources of politically subversive ideas. Once Bernard has Lukas officially brought into the management of Project Fifty, he tells him to stop it with that whole business of documenting stars - Not because it's potentially subversive, but because It's Been Done. | |

Star-Crossed Lovers | |
| Wool / int_e596f27b | comment |
Star-Crossed Lovers: Played with in the case of Juliette and Lukas. They hit it off after a chance meeting and impromptu stargazing session, and only see each other a few more times after that. After that, they're both kind of swooning for each other but try to play it cool. They even come from rival factions (IT and Mechanical). Then plot happens, and the trope is subverted when they both discover the rewarding parts of a long-distance relationship and get to know each other intimately at a comfortable pace (as a consequence of trying to keep each other sane over the radio in frankly bat-shit situations.) Lampshaded — the novella in which they meet has each chapter preceded by lines from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Wool / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: Ultimately what the novellas become. Good people die, are seriously injured, and suffer mental breakdowns, but in the end things start looking up. | |

Gadgeteer Genius: Not that many gadgets, but Juliette is a mechanical prodigy and an amateur watch-maker, and she whips up a lot of small and large scale tools like diving suits and draining pumps from first principles. | |
