The 100
Ever since a nuclear war made Earth uninhabitable, humanity has lived on space stations orbiting the planet. Now, one hundred teenage prisoners are being dropped onto the surface to see if it is safe to return. These young outcasts must navigate a wild, overgrown world and their own internal power struggles to stay alive.
The book series and the television show were developed simultaneously as independent projects, sharing only the core premise and a few character names. Because the show began production before the novels were fully released, the two versions diverge significantly in plot, character fates, and world-building.
The narrative arc established in this first volume continues through the subsequent books in the series, specifically Day 21, Homecoming, and Rebellion, which collectively resolve the primary plotlines.
