Thousands of them have lived underground. They've lived there so long, there are only legends about people living anywhere else. Such a life requires rules. Strict rules. There are things that must not be discussed. Like going outside. Never mention you might like going outside.
Or you'll get what you wish for.
What the press is saying:
Boing Boing's Official Review: "This story is terrific. I was completely immersed, watching Howey slowly paint a picture of a society gone wrong through the eyes and discovery of some truly compelling characters."
Wired.com's Official GeekDad Review: "Howey is among a growing list of authors who are making successful careers of publishing without the assistance of agents and traditional publishing houses. The traditional argument has been that if a book couldn’t find a publisher it probably wasn’t worth reading. However, just as iTunes changed how consumers found music and the way in which bands made their bread, ebook readers, and in particular the Kindle, are changing the ways in which authors find their readers and make a living. All of this means the old assumptions about indie books no longer hold true, and readers need to be prepared to adjust their expectations accordingly. The Wool Omnibus is a great book and deserves recognition as a full fledged contribution to the science fiction genre."
I'm the author of WOOL, a top 5 science fiction book on Amazon. I also wrote the Molly Fyde saga, a tale of a teenager from the 25th century who is repeatedly told that girls can't do certain things -- and then does them anyway.
A theme in my books is the celebration of overcoming odds and of not allowing the cruelty of the universe to change who you are in the process. Most of them are classified as science fiction, since they often take place in the future, but if you love great stories and memorable characters, you'll dig what you find here. I promise.
其实最开始注意到本书, 并非因为网传如何之热门, 而仅仅是因为觉得这个名字颇为有趣。 毕竟“羊毛”这样柔软的词汇, 很少与“战记”这样坚硬的词汇组合到一起。 拿到书以后得知原名仅仅是“羊毛”(wool), 而且读后发现实际上和全书的关系并不大, 感觉上倒像是作者从书...
评分One of the best science fictions I've read. Suspense has been well kept. Emotions appear to be genuine. There is no strange or awkward emotional turning point: I love that Hugh Howey plotted and layered emotions well. The ending is a little bit of cliché, ...
评分《1984》《动物庄园》《我们》《美丽新世界》《这完美的一天》诸如此类,比拟或寓言极权社会的行为控制和思想审察、借美好承诺之名,行人性扼杀之实这类“反乌托邦”小说书架上找找应该有十来本,如果一个阅读者不读这些作品,似乎就找不到天朝子民的身份认同。 然而,这...

评分科幻世界译文版2013年9月也有羊毛一文。作者是同一人。 一开始不知道怎么回事。后来买了全文比较,发现译文版上只有第一段。 译者不同。第一段写的真好,让人忍不住去买全本。 翻译上我觉得科幻世界译文版的译者好一点。 真可惜没有科幻世界出的全本。全本只有湖南人民这本
当时坐在楼梯上看的...... 为啥没有电梯呢??不是hard scifi。dystopian world building 特别简短有效,用小故事带出来的。
评分要不是机缘巧合被作者主动送了一本,可能我就错过它了。
评分没劲。另外现在看到“反乌托邦”就恶心。
评分作者嘘嘘叨叨,但是出乎意料的好看。就是有些人死了让我很伤心,比如Knox
评分极为乏味,昏昏欲睡(已读60%+),难以想象在2011年还会有人喜欢这么老派的故事。
