Episode notes

Silo spoiler level:

Wool ch1-7

Nira and Toma dive into Hugh Howey's Wool with a spoiler-friendly, chapter-by-chapter breakdown. We enter the world of the silo, wrestle with adaptation baggage and early sci-fi mystery, and ask why this society is so obsessed with cleaning. Then we follow Allison's discovery of deleted history and recurring uprisings, live through Holston and Allison's tragedy — belief, love, and the decision to go outside — and land on the walk beyond the airlock and the gut-punch of the visor illusion. We close with theories: what actually destroyed the world, and is the outside really toxic?
