One of the best SciFi openings | Wool by Hugh Howey

Another way to look at the title - have you ever heard the phrase: "Pull the wool over your eyes" in terms of silo? Very fitting.

Oooh right! Some idiomatic things still escape me. I knew this one but I didn’t think of it.
Note: in Italy, I swear, we say the same thing but with “ham slices” instead of wool ahah

Uuh, thanks, I also just added it to my to read list :)
Also - amazing video quality!

[@MattSpeculates]

I hope you enjoy it!

[@DiddenEsq]

Yes it’s a great start and I was quickly hooked. While I wanted to know what the mystery was, it also had pathos.

[@MattSpeculates]

Exactly! Makes you want to rush to the end, but you also want to savor it. I found the pace to be just right.

Try 'Nexus' by Ramez Naam. Very fine

[@MattSpeculates]
