Apple TV+ hit "Severance" still has several episodes to go, but Apple Books is already publishing what purports to be the insider's view of what is really happening at the mysterious "Lumon" company.
"Severance" is writer/creator Dan Erikson's drama that was borne of his own "corporate misery." Now a character working on the inside of the fictitious "Lumon" company setting, is publishing a book about what "really" goes on there.
Tomorrow, @AppleBooks will release a free tell-all from inside the Lumon office, the company behind the controversial #Severance procedure. They have been a mystery to all "outies", but one brave whistleblower risked everything to expose the truth. Available on eligible devices. pic.twitter.com/pTt03Fo5kj

The book is due to be published on Apple Books on March 18, 2022. At time of writing, the title is not yet available, however. Either Apple has scheduled the release for later in the day — or Lumon has caught on to what's happening.
Erikson's original — and quite different — script to the first episode can now be read online, too. Note that although it begins in a different way to the series, elements in it may well be spoilers for the remainder of the show.
The sixth episode of "Severance" was released on March 18, 2022, and three more are following weekly on Fridays.

I love this show.
I have to admit, even though I think it’s weird from a business perspective for apple to have invested in all this content, some of it really is incredibly good.
it's a metaphor wrapped in a riddle wrapped in an enigma. I hope someone can explain the higher message for slow wits like myself
The book is a bit wired.
