Silo Origines

Product Information

There’s not as much action as in Wool. This book, at its core, is mainly about the psychological effects this barren world has on its occupants. I think Howey has pulled this off nicely. Although some passages felt a bit too long and overwritten. Hugh manages to do it all with his usual engrossing style. Dare I say I'm pleased to be able to see his evolution as a writer through the entire series; as well-written as all of the Wool books were from the start, I think in Shift he takes his craft to a whole different level. Après un agréable premier tome qui m'avait bien emballé, quoi de plus naturel que d'attaquer le tome 2 ? So basically, I think we can draw the conclusion that you pretty much have to be J.K. Rowling not to mess up the sequels.

Silo, tome 2 : Origines - Hugh Howey - Babelio

Some elements of Wool work brilliantly: the first two sections are frightening, intriguing and mysterious. Holston, the old mayor Jahns and Holston's deputy, Marnes, are unusual, fully realised characters. Jules is an attractively grease-stained heroine, and some of the tribulations Howey pushes his protagonists through are truly horrendous – and engrossing. He has had enormous fun with the details of his dystopia: the lottery inhabitants of the silo must go through to be allowed to reproduce, following a death; the reality of life in a world partitioned by a single enormous staircase; the claustrophobia of underground existence. Well written, info dumpy preparations, debates, concepts, etc. for meta endeavors such as space colonization, a major war, an election campaign, or, going underground, are something that is often more a thing for hard sci-fi, because writers tend to avoid the extreme effort of putting any exposition in dialogue or action, instead of much easier static description, monologues, or omniscient narrator sequences.

Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique:

Wool - Hugh Howey Wool - Hugh Howey

PROS: Strong beginning; empathy for major characters; challenging philosophical themes about war and sacrifice to survive as a human race. 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? It leaves an opening for Dust, which I assume will be the thrilling finale. Just what exactly lies beyond the Silos (pun intended)? And though the ostensible motive for constructing the Silos has been revealed, something tells me our crafty author isn't showing us all the cards just yet... Last night I was tempted to give this book two stars out of sheer frustration, but that wouldn't be fair. Yes, it's nowhere near as good as its predecessor, the excellent _Wool_. And yes, it's not what you'd call really good. But I did read it straight through, and with no regrets.

and I am sure you can carry on with this list to eternity. In fact, please carry on in the comments! I would really love to find out what sequel drove you mad. La conception des silos, les premières années, l'histoire de ses concepteurs et leur contrôle. Mais aussi l'histoire de Solo et on retrouvera naturellement Juliette en apparition guest star.

BTW - it also makes for some fun conversation. Last night, for instance, my husband mentioned to me if I thought there would be fewer uprisings in the Silo if they had more reading material, maybe some fun magazines like Silo Living? That led to Living in the Mids, Up Top Life, Better Silos and (uh?) Silos, Down Deep Life and then eventually we realized there had to have been at least one uprising on the shortfall of TP (paper, after all, is such a precious commodity). What happened to the rest of the world? Was it just Georgia that was destroyed? Or was it all of America? What happened in other countries?

Humanity clings to survival in the Silo, a subterranean city extending one hundred forty-four stories beneath the surface. The series initially follows the character of Holston, the sheriff of the Silo, with subsequent volumes focusing on the characters of Juliette, Jahns, and Marnes. An ongoing storyline of the series is the focus on the mystery behind the Silo and the secrets it holds. Staff Thoughts: It was somewhat sad that Donald was separated from his wife, Helen, because of Anna's manipulation. His reaction to finding out Helen married his best friend and had kids/grandkids was a little odd though — he kept saying how much he loved Helen but he never actually showed it. He seemed to have more passion and reaction to Anna, so I didn't really understand his utter devastation about losing Helen. I would have expected him to be a bit depressed but the way he broke down didn't make much sense, his love for Helen never really rang true especially when he was lusting after Anna so much. 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 the first book in this trilogy, Wool, surprising and exciting in a way I haven't experienced from a science fiction book in a while. Unfortunately I didn't feel the same way about this one. 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.De multă vreme îmi doream să ajung la începuturile Silozului și să aflu de ce s-a sfârșit întreaga lume... iar acum... ei bine, acum am aflat și nu sunt prea convinsă de plauzibilitatea evenimentelor: cum se poate să distrugi planeta pentru că ți-e teamă de o posibila armă devastatoare a unei alte națiuni? cum pot trei-patru oameni să-i convingă pe alții că e mai bine să ucizi miliarde pentru a salva câteva mii? mă depășește absurditatea acestei logici.... Totuși, lăsând la o parte nemulțumirile subiective, din punctul meu de vedere, Silozul. Începuturile completează destul de bine universul seriei; sper să apară și volumul final al trilogiei. 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. 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. This was an excellent “prequel” to Wool. Knowing what happened in Wool, you know where things are heading at the beginning of the book. The horror I felt at the motivations of the people pulling the strings was great. And it just got worse and worse.
