Description

When does the cost of staying silent become greater than the price of speaking up? A desperate woman risks everything to expose the sinister company at the heart of Severance, the thrilling Apple Original series from director and executive producer Ben Stiller and creator Dan Erickson, now streaming on Apple TV+, about a daring experiment in “work-life balance.”

From the minds behind the series, this is the story of Lumon Industries employee Margaret “Peg” Kincaid. When Peg gets hired at Lumon, she undergoes Severance, a surgical procedure pitched by the company as an effortless way to separate her personal and work lives. Everyone has their reasons for wanting the easy solution Severance promises, but when Peg realizes that not all is as it seems at the company, she uncovers a reality that’s far worse than the problems she wanted to escape.

At the heart of this story, Peg’s shocking confession reveals the darkest side of corporate America. It raises a chilling question: How far will Lumon Industries go to protect its secrets?

Available for free, and exclusively on Apple Books.

    A perfect companion to an outstanding series. A fun little endeavor by some very creative minds. There’s a whole world of stories to be told in this not-so-distant universe and I for one am fully on board to see where it goes.

    This book is nice for the in between session while waiting for S2. No spoilers but definitely gives a sense of what an innie would go through and helps explain some details of the show. Highly recommend it. 😊
  • Such a mystery!

    Every so often a story will grab you by the collar from the first page. That’s what happened with this book. Envisioning whether or not what is described could be a reality, and asking myself “would I want to be severed? Or better yet…do I want someone splitting me?” Definitely hooked and very interested to learn more about this story.
  • Loved it!
