Basically a post apocalyptic novel of a society living in a multi-level underground silo. The upper echelon tech and IT residence live closer to the surface. The lower echelon blue collars live and work near the bottom. Law breakers are selected to enter the still poisonous surface to clean up and wipe off the surveillance camera lens with a wool cloth.

Lots of intrigue and parallels to today’s societal breakdowns.

Freaky. Especially in today’s happenings.

Hugh Howey..2011....someone asked ...Why is the book called wool?

Q. Here's my guess for the WOOL acronym. In book five, when Lukas is talking to Sil0 1 he's welcomed to “Operation Fifty of the World Order”. The Roman numeral for fifty is “L”, so the acronym would be “World Order, Operation L”.

Apparently a popular series. Tks for sharing.
