I read this one out of turn (couldn't wait to find out the resolution to Silo #1, Wool so I skipped ahead to Silo #3, Dust as I had heard that this one, Silo #2, Shift was a sort of prequel). I think reading Silo 1-3-2 or 1-2-3 could have worked either way, but I now see how 1-3-2 was more gratifying. I loved experiencing the unimaginable psychotic Silo world building of #2, seeing the backstory of Donald, Thurman, and Jimmy/Solo. Solo's backstory was particularly heartbreaking. Possibly one of the best prequels ever written. Story: 7 / 10 Characters: 8 Setting: 8 Prose: 7 The book starts to lose direction towards the end. Mainly, this is because it is trying to align with WOOL, but that doesn't make it reasonable. Still the first 2/3 are fantastic and a brilliant commentary on aggressive, pre-emptive war policies. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

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.

I’m not making this sound very interesting and I’m only rating it “ok”. I did manage to miss parts of it because I was listening to an audio. There was a big thing I missed in the middle, unfortunately. I figured out what had happened; I just missed how we got there. Parts of the second half got a bit more interesting with Jimmy trying to survive in the shut down silo.
Interesting, as I read some of the other reviews, it turns out this is a prequel. I had no idea. But then, it’s been 6(?) years since I read the first one, and I really have no memory of it, anyway. Despite my lukewarm reception to this one, I do plan to read the 3rd book, as well. ( )
