Pros
- “Wool” by Hugh Howey… super fast paced, super human, and the whole silo society thing gets in your head in the best dystopian way.

- Wool feels ok when it's wet. Or dry. It's just a really good fabric, it's been with humanity since ancient times, and it's not filling our oceans with microplastics.

Cons
- Wool by Hugh Howey. Book 1 is AMAZING. Book two leave you wanting more, and book 3 is just hot garbage with the worst ending/summary I have read in any book ever.

Wool is extremely repairable. If you have a coat constructed properly of high-quality wool, it can last you your lifetime with reasonable wear.
Wool is easier to mend, especially in a way that isn’t as obvious as leather, and you can keep working it for a long time (for example, King Charles has been wearing the [same wool coat for 40 years](https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/809737/king-charles-rewears-quirky-tie-coat-church-outing/?viewas=amp)).
Hugh Howey's **Wool**. Set very far after the apocalypse, it's the first in his Silo series. He writes incredibly descriptive imagery.
Came here to scream Wool from the rooftops. I liked Scythe a lot, but I LOVE Wool.
