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.

    it really helps figure out what lumon may be doing, in S2 we start learning that Mark is needed for some project, it seems scary as lumon is giving him everything he asks for, by now he would’ve been fired already or killed but I believe that they need him for this sinister project, my personal belief is they are trying to create a digital version of mark or someone else, and mark is related to them, that would make sense on why they have to react to the way they feel about the numbers, I would recommend this to anyone who starts severance, I would recommend reading this after S1 ends, before you starts S2
  • I needed this.

    Ever since branch 501’s MDR uprising, I’ve been doing my best to learn more about Lumon. My outie is doing the same too, I can tell. We’ve developed a code, indicating things by details on our clothes, creating a simplistic and undetectable code of sorts. My coworker, Alex, was faxed a copy of this and the rest of us read it after he was done. Lumon needs to change, something isn’t right. I’m gonna make a seriously long note using the aforementioned code, I hope Mr. Erland doesn’t figure it out… wish me luck!!
