Shift, now a MAJOR TV Series, is the much-anticipated prequel to the bestseller Wool that takes us back to the beginnings of the silo.

NOW THE NO.1 DRAMA IN THE HISTORY OF APPLE TV+

In a future less than fifty years away, the world is still as we know it. Time continues to tick by. However, the truth is that it is ticking away.

A powerful few know what lies ahead. They are preparing for it. They are trying to protect us.

They are setting us on a path from which we can never return. A path that will lead to destruction; a path that will take us below ground.

The history of the silo is about to be written. Our future is about to begin.

About the Author

Hugh Howey spent eight years living on boats and working as a yacht captain for the rich and famous. It wasn't until the love of his life carried him away from these vagabond ways that he began to pursue literary adventures, rather than literal ones. Hugh wrote and self-published the Wool trilogy, which won rave reviews and praise from readers, and whose three books have gone on to become international bestsellers.
