Resist

Leah, a recycling worker from the mids, is ushered into Samizdat - an underground league of thinkers, writers, and artists who publish and distribute illegal books throughout the silo. She's been arrested and released, and now she's headed to the down-deep to meet up with her mysterious father, and to face what is really going on in the silo. RESIST is a short story of about 13k words (about 85 pages) that takes place in the world of Hugh Howey's bestselling WOOL saga. It is the second of a three part series that will make up The Silo Archipelago. Written with Hugh's permission, The Silo Archipelago series examines the issues of control, tyranny, and censorship through the lens of history. Throughout time, dissident writers have used paper and words as weapons of war against both governments and really bad ideas. REFUSE and RESIST, in the spirit of A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch and The Gulag Archipelago, examine what would happen if there were literary dissidents in the silos of Hugh Howey's WOOL.
