I’m here because I watched the new show adaptation, Silo, based on Howey’s work. I burned through the show in a few days and the book in the same span of time. The writing is spare and at times stripped down, but the author manages to paint an incredibly vivid picture nonetheless, making the reading feel quick and complete at once. Howey also adroitly juggles multiple characters and perspectives in the best way and pulls off several twists and turns along the way. Beneath the action and mystery there are also some fairly deep musings on things like common humanity, in group and out group thinking, and what people in a community owe to each other. I’m excited to read the next books in this series, especially since the show will probably be some time in coming out with a season 2.
