I see from another comment that you haven’ read the books yet. I don’t know if you have avoided spoilers, so I won’t g8ve anything away here BUT:
The books, especially Wool, takes a long time to build up to revealing anything big to help the reader understand how the characters ended up where they were. I fact it’s not until the second book that you start getting to the meat and potatoes of the story.
Given that, I’d suggest you get into Wool if you don’t want the series to possibly spoil the big reveal for you.
You dropped a middle ‘e’ there…
