Silo Origines

Product Information

If I had to compare it with Wool, well, first of all, the main character is such a wimp that you can't even. Literally. Second – okay, the first book is quite depressing. But it's also uplifting in a way, cause they keep fighting. Nobody gives up. Shift though? What happens to the guy is so depressing, that if you have any empathy at all, like even the amount sea critters have, you will probably get sorely depressed from just touching the book, much less reading it. I will admit, I struggled to get through Shift. While the writing is quite good, I never felt it was as compelling or interesting as Wool. Shift felt more like an addendum to Wool than a novel that could stand by itself. I enjoyed getting some answers about what happened in Wool, yet it wasn't enough to keep me interested. Ir taip, trečdalis knygos kiek atkartojo pirmosios knygos įvykius, bet tikėjausi to daug daugiau. Galbūt dėl to, kad pirmąją dalį skaičiau prieš metus ir daug kas pasimiršo, bet nekamavo jausmas, kad šitai jau žinau ir neįdomu, kamavo tik jausmas, kad štai šitai siejasi su pirmos knygos įvykiais – žiūrėk kaip faina.

Other things are frustrating too, like the long pointless dialogues (e.g. between Donald and his wife). What happened to Silo 40 and the surrounding Silos? Why was Donald cool with destroying Silo 40 when he had such a hard time shutting down Silo 12? Why didn't he feel guilty about killing everyone in Silo 40 especially when he could have easily avoided it without his colleagues being any the wiser? istorija yra pusėtina, ypač kol buvo pasakojama, kaip atsirado šachtų idėja, kaip jos buvo statomos ir kas ta paslaptinga grėsmė/nelaimė/įvykis, dėl kurio šachtų projektas, arba, kaip išdidžiai jis buvo pavadintas dar pirmoje knygoje, pasaulio tvarkos projektas „penkiasdešimt“ buvo paleistas, bet vėliau pasakojimo kokybė krenta, labiausiai – dėl nuspėjamumo, tačiau ir kitos nuodėmės nepadeda. Personažai prastokai išvystyti, pačioms šachtoms dėmesio daug mažiau, ir apskritai pati knyga atrodo per daug išpūsta, ištempta.When it came to Silo 12 he didn't really have a choice about shutting it down, since it was his job… But with Silo 40 no-one else knew for certain that it had survivors so he didn't really have to do anything about them since it wasn't expected of him. It was just weird how he had no problem killing the people in 40 when he basically had a break down for the doing the same thing to 12. The bulk of the book is split between pre-Silo times and early Silo times and then split between Silo 1 (HQ) and other “troubled” silos. I feel like some of what happened in Wool was touched upon, but my memory of the details is obviously too vague, because I was never quite sure! I kind of wish I had reread it or skimmed it. So, it would be my recommendation not to wait too long before reading this one. Je ne doutais pas que tu aimerai ! Il est bien bien bien ce deuxième tome, que d'info et de révélations !
New York Times bestselling author of over a dozen novels. SILO out now on AppleTV+ Beacon 23 coming soon! trei secvențe ( Primul schimb: Moștenirea, Al doilea schimb: Ordinul și Al treilea schimb: Pactul), povestea îl are ca personaj principal pe Donald, un tânăr arhitect care tocmai a fost ales congresman cu sprijinul unui vechi prieten de familie, senatorul Thurman. Cooptat de acesta din urmă pentru participarea la un program secret, Donald ajunge să proiecteze silozurile, clădindu-și fără să știe propria închisoare. Plimbându-se între întâmplările trecutului și provocările prezentului din cele 50 de silozuri, Hugh Howey atinge cu subtilitate o multitudine de aspecte sociale, politice și filosofice (tendința de auto-anihilare a omenirii, relația omului cu propria sa identitate ca specie și cultură, moralitatea sacrificării unora pentru salvarea majorității), compensând astfel caracterizarea sumară a personajelor.

Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique: It would be interesting to know how these novels would have hit the market between 25 and 50, in real time, years earlier, where the reality inspired nuclear wasteland WW3 genre was a hot, radiating trending topic over decades. The end of the days, or at least of we world as we know it, has always been fascinating since the first apes lost their fur and got more colds and mental illnesses called consciousness and human intelligence. In contrast to the mainstream attempts of first describing the Mad Max style wastelands in urban or rural hellholes, then creating a wave of teeny angst driven reality tv gameshow clones, this new ideas popping up in sci-fi are opening deeper and more complex settings than the stereotypical Roman emperor style put in a dystopic, near future with lots of leather around uncompensated sexual instincts.

After all, I loved Wool. I loved the nostalgia Wool generated in me for classic SciFi. I loved the suspense. The characters were cool. I was ready to take the plunge. Other elements don't work so well. It's partly down, I think, to the way the novel developed. It started life as a very good short story. That story grew as readers fell in love with the world Howey had created, and as he wrote, the tightness and the skill with which he began unravelled somewhat. He throws in a character – Lukas, a love interest for Jules – who rings false. And while mostly he writes well, sometimes he gets a bit flowery. At one point he indulges in some truly dire love poetry ("Wait for me. Wait for me. Wait there, my dear/ Let these gentle pleas find your ear").Second Shift' also features two linked narratives. In one, we continue the drama in Silo One, between Donald, Senator Thurman, and his daughter, Anna, as Donald is awoken from cryosleep for his 'second shift.' In the other narrative, the action takes place in Silo 18, where we meet a young porter called Mission, who has never known any other world but that of his silo. The only inkling he and his contemporaries have had that things might once have been different are the stories of an elderly teacher, who tells fantastic tales - tales that seem unlikely, but at the same time, are sufficient to sow the seeds of discontent. And the society of Silo 18 may be increasingly unstable...

I found myself screaming at this book. I really liked the idea and I really wanted to keep reading to find out how it all ends, but I found aspects of the book really frustrating. You'll find yourself saying "for god's sake, just get on with it will you" and "Well, that doesn't fit" all the way through this book. If you can put up with that, then it's worth the read.Le roman commence par une alternance de chapitres se situant avant et après la création des Silos. le lecteur est projeté dans diverses époques et découvre ainsi la conception, le fonctionnement et l'évolution des Silos. Notre curiosité, fortement attisée par la lecture du premier tome, va enfin être satisfaite. L'histoire est captivante. Les Silos regorgent de nombreux mystères que l'auteur sait nous distiller avec parcimonie. It was great finally getting some answers and a more complete picture of 1. The conception of the Silos 2. The world outside 3. The other Silos and 4. The end goal of the Silos. Showing how it came to a devastating catastrophe in detailed retrospectives, while mixing it up with the current storyline, was hardly ever such a fun and enjoyment to read. It doesn't help that the more Howey reveals, the less the conspiracy makes sense. Suspending disbelief is easy when the writer leaves much of the details to your imagination, but Howey can't do that - he has to explain every little thing and eventually it falls apart. For instance, why was destroying the world the best and only solution? I mean it seems like these brilliant scientists he gathered could come up with something else to try? And why were three people, only one of whom was in government, able to convince an entire Air Force division to drop nuclear bombs on Atlanta?! It just seems a little bizarre that the secret cabal we've been hearing about since the beginning of Wool ended up being a Dixiecrat junior senator and a couple of doctors.
