Hugh Howey in Conversation with Amor Towles: Wool & Apple TV+’s Silo

Hugh Howey and Amor Towles

Join New York Times-bestselling author of the Silo books, Hugh Howey, with acclaimed novelist Amor Towles on Apple TV+’s new sci-fi series based on his hit novels, Silo — plus the thrilling first book in the Silo saga, Wool.

Hugh Howey and Amor Towles are very different kinds of novelists, but they have one thing in common: once you start reading their books, you can’t put them down. And with Wool, the first book in his Silo series, Howey has created an utterly absorbing contemporary dystopian masterpiece, now a gripping new thriller on Apple TV+. Following the story of the last ten thousand people on Earth living deep underground to protect them from the toxic and deadly world outside, Silo is a hit with critics and audiences alike.

In a special conversation, hear Howey and Towles discuss the art of the page-turner through the lens of Howey’s sci-fi opus — the writing of the books, the creation of the show, stories from the set, and much more.
