Hugh Howey is best known for writing the "Silo" novels, the source material behind the Apple TV show that takes place inside a massive underground shelter. The bunker holds about 10,000 residents spread across 144 floors, and none of them recall the disaster that pushed humanity below the surface. Howey kicked off the series in 2012 with "Wool," a collection of short fiction and novellas. He followed it with "Shift" and "Dust" in 2013. Beyond "Silo," he has built a wide catalog of sci-fi and fantasy work, including "Beacon 23," "I, Zombie," "The Shell Collector," and the "Molly Fyde" YA novels. He has also published nonfiction about exploration and navigation.
Outside of books, Howey runs a personal blog where he shares thoughts on everything from AI risks to the progress of the "Silo" ad
