The novel follows an elderly Briton couple, Axl and Beatrice, living in a fictional post-Arthurian England in which no-one is able to retain long-term memories.

Join Laurie for a discussion of Wool by Hugh Howey (now an AppleTV series).

This is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism.

Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: they are allowed outside.
