Description

Upcoming television blockbuster from Apple TV+ starring Rebecca Ferguson from Dune and Tim Robbins.

THE SECOND BOOK IN THE MILESTONE TRILOGY OF THE 21st CENTURY

In 2007, the Center for Automation Nanobiotechnology introduced software and hardware platforms that would one day enable robots smaller than a human cell to conduct medical diagnoses, perform repairs, and self-replicate. That same year, CBS aired a program about the effects of propranolol on those suffering from extreme forms of trauma. A simple pill, it turned out, could erase even the memory of a particularly traumatic experience. At that moment, humanity had just discovered the means that would lead to its complete destruction. And, at the same time, the means that would allow it to forget.

In less than forty years from today, the world is still as we know it. Time continues to flow, but not for everyone in the same way. Only a few powerful people know what is coming. They are preparing for it. They are trying to protect us. They are putting us on an irreversible path that leads to destruction; a path that will take us underground. The story of the silo begins here. Our future begins now.

“The next The Hunger Games.” – Sunday Times

“The anxiety, claustrophobia, and lethargic world created by the author is utterly convincing.” – The Observer

“Excellently written. Howey leads us to an utterly believable and terrifying revelation. More and more layers of this dystopian world are coming to light, paving the way for the continuation…” – Sunday Express

“We are enchanted by the stories of WOOL. We recommend you read SILO first, but you will want to have this already in your library because we guarantee you won’t be able to stop reading.” – Grazia Daily

    This review is about the book: 1: Σιλό

    Nice book, different from the classics.
    However, it tires with pointless descriptions of landscapes and situations without really offering anything of substance with this extra knowledge. It could easily be minus 150 - 200 pages.

    The ending is very silly and abrupt, especially when it has prepared you for something very special.

    I would normally give it 3 stars but I will give it 4 for the author's creativity.
