Watch Silo, the Apple TV+ series based on the bestselling Silo Saga!

The second volume in the New York Times bestselling Silo series. Hugh Howey goes back to show the first days 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.

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.

This book worked its way up to the end of the first. Really enjoying it

This one I think was way more emotionally impactful for some reason. It’s a unique choice for an author to avoid a direct continuation of events in a sequel and instead give us a whole book about everyone but our heroine. Donald is a really interesting addition. I’m excited to see where everything goes next.

Might even be better than the first?

Very fun story! Interesting to watch all the twists and turns unfold. And see how all the characters start to interact with each other

Great plot

The narrative immersion pulls you into the story, allowing you to fall and pace with the rhythm in the cadence and is truly enjoyable.

I had a few issues with the jumping around in the story’s time line, but overall enjoyed the world building that the story introduced. I don’t think it can stand alone as its own novel, but the story was tied in well to Wool.

Good Backstory to the Silo-verse
