THE BASIS FOR SILO, NOW A #1 STREAMING SHOW 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?

The Sequel Prequel
This book could be a prequel to the first in the Silo series with just a few tweaks. That said, it provides a full understanding of how they got into this situation in the first book. There’s already been so much written about this series that I’m not going to add anything new really. If you enjoyed the first, you’ll dig this one. It wasn’t better for me, and I missed Juliette not appearing anywhere till the final sentences of the 100 chapter book.
Compelling addition to the series.
With Wool Howey set up an interesting and unique universe that asked a thousand questions and answered very few. With Shift the reader is finally taken behind the curtain for a glimpse at how the world became what it had and just maybe who was responsible. It is a heart-pounding follow-up to the original foray in the series.
Soooo…
I love wool but shift at the beginning is not thrilling so I skipped to the part where the world ends and it was just so much fun to see how it all went in the beginning! And good job on the cryopods and Nanobots! CRUSHED IT HOWEY!
