Apple Inks Deal for Dystopian Series 'Wool'

[darkslide29]

Just based on the short plot summary that was provided in this short article, it seems like the plot is similar to that of Hunger Games....

I’ve read the hunger games books and also Wool. Because I enjoyed both series, I can see why someone would make the connection. The similarity is that they’re both loosely taking place in a “post-apocalyptic”, dystopian future. But that’s pretty much where the similarities end.

Good pedigree, spent many happy Saturday nights watching his dad Elwy Yost host Saturday Night at the Movies.

Isn't this the same general storyline as Snowpiercer?

That's a better analogy than some of the others that have been offered.

No, but no.

Spoiler: Actually

It was actually a fringe fringe group, not the main party itself. Sort of like how the weather underground wasn’t the DNC.

Quiet you - no nuance allowed!

It was actually a fringe fringe group, not the main party itself. Sort of like how the weather underground wasn’t the DNC.

And it was a fringe group in the Democratic party, not the GOP.

Seriously, “dystopian future” is starting to become a tired trope. What happened to the futures that are a little more inspiring? So over dystopian crap. Anytime I see the word “dystopian” in the description, I almost always pass nowadays. I am looking forward to Foundation.

You don’t think 10,000 years of dark ages is “dystopian?” 🙂

Gave up on the Wool book, as the idea that the characters didn't have knowledge to make an elevator was just ridiculous.

If you’d kept reading you would have learned why there are no elevators.
There’s a good reason. I mean bad reason, but logical.

I recently re-read the series, and it was definitely the DNC responsible for the silos (and the events that forced people into the silos).
