Description

SEASON 2 OF THE ACCLAIMED SILO SERIES — BASED ON BOOK 1, WOOL — NOW ON APPLE TV+

In this second volume in the New York Times best-selling Silo series, Hugh Howey describes the catastrophic events that led to the creation of the silo— and the beginning of the end

In 2007, the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software platforms that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses, conduct repairs, and even self-propagate. The technology has an almost limitless capacity for good—but in the wrong hands, it could have an equally boundless capacity for evil.

In the same year, the CBS network re-aired a program about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill, it had been discovered, could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event.

At almost the same moment in humanity’s broad history, mankind discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall, and the ability to forget it ever happened. With this godlike power at their fingertips, can humanity be trusted to create a new—and better—world? Or is it doomed to bring about its own destruction?

    Began watching the show on Apple TV+, after a few episodes I had to read the book. Shift is an excellent sequel, giving a lot more context to the narrative of the first book. Can’t wait to finish the third book!
  • Huge drop off from Wool. Don’t.

    I wanted to like it. But it’s awful. Really awful. A huge drop off from Wool. Wool in places was very well crafted. This is not close at all. Anyone saying it is doesn’t know how to read very well. The lack of intrigue, character development and silly plot are just too much to overcome. Nothing fits.Nothing is really intended or followed thru. This is like a bad first draft that doesn’t intend to go anywhere interesting or logical. Sorry.
