Silo Origines

Product Information

Immediately after finishing the Wool series, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Hugh Howey had finished Third Shift, which meant that Shift Omnibus was complete, and I could dive right into it.

Au point que n'importe qui pouvait se retrouver aux commandes. Quelqu'un qui pouvait faire ce qui était correct, ou alors quelqu'un qui pouvait faire ce qui était juste. »I didn't quite believe the reasoning behind a lot of things that were revealed but I guess they weren't totally implausible. A great pleasure of dystopian fiction is the reader's excess of knowledge: we know what the world used to be, and watch characters struggle towards the truth. Howey provides this in spades. Holston is grappling his way towards a realisation that there might be more to the world than the 150 floors of the silo and its strict, unbreakable rules.

More to the point, why have canned cat food that's edible 100s of years after the occupation of the silo. Come to think of it, why are there cats there in the 1st place give the way the silos we occupied!?!?! 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.

I don't really know where to begin with this book, or frankly - IF I should begin at all, cause you can see I just gave it 1 star, which I pretty much never do, so you must be getting the vibe that not only did this book not satisfy me, it probably even enraged me. It was dumb how Thurman and the other leaders just killed off loads of people whenever there was a slight problem. It just made the whole 50 Silos seem pointless, they may as well have just built a couple and let them sort out their own problems. PROS: Strong beginning; empathy for major characters; challenging philosophical themes about war and sacrifice to survive as a human race.

De nombreux registres sont abordés: violence, manipulation de masses, isolement, adaptation en milieu hostile, intelligence, curiosité, moralité... Et l'intéressante description du vieillissement des technologies en société fermée où rien ne peut se renouveler, se remplacer. Third Shift' - two more stories. Due to an error (or is it?) when Donald is awoken for his third shift, he is mistaken for Senator Thurman. As long as no one finds out; he'll stay in charge of the whole shebang. Will this give Donald a chance to redeem himself for his part in the destruction of the world? Or will he continue to make yet more mistakes and stupid decisions? In Third Shift we revisit some events from Wool and I got this warm feeling you get at the get-together of old friends. I guess that’s mostly the pull of prequels. Et puis, il y avait la routine, abrutissante. C’était la castration de la pensée, le train-train quotidien d’un employé qui observait la pendule en bavant, pointait en sortant, s’endormait devant la télé, tapait trois fois sur son réveil le matin, et rebelote. L’absence de week-ends n’arrangeait rien. Il n’y avait pas de jours chômés. C’était six mois de travail et des décennies de repos.

Silo: Origines, by Hugh Howey, Laure Manceau | The StoryGraph

The characters were a bit of a hit and miss for me. The main character, Donald, was hard to like at first — he was just so weepy, emotional, and annoying. He was meant to be a congressman but he acted way too naive and weak. He should have had a bit of strength, instead most of the time he acted like a scared little boy. Everyone around him manipulated him really easily, it was kind of ridiculous. Even though he was a frustrating character, he did grow on me by the end, and I eventually kind of understood why he had such an emotional reaction to everything. Other things are frustrating too, like the long pointless dialogues (e.g. between Donald and his wife). Silo - Origines, Actes Sud, coll.« Babel» n o1352, 4 novembre 2015, trad.Laure Manceau, 624 p. ( ISBN 978-2-330-05691-9) What happened to the remaining people inside Silo 12? Were they all killed? How exactly was Silo 12 shut down? Was it the white fog? Or was the building itself destroyed? Or was it both? Ir taip, trečdalis knygos kiek atkartojo pirmosios knygos įvykius, bet tikėjausi to daug daugiau. Galbūt dėl to, kad pirmąją dalį skaičiau prieš metus ir daug kas pasimiršo, bet nekamavo jausmas, kad šitai jau žinau ir neįdomu, kamavo tik jausmas, kad štai šitai siejasi su pirmos knygos įvykiais – žiūrėk kaip faina.I have shelved these stories science fiction, though these are much less science than they are simply human and somewhat tragic. Hugh Howey understands and portrays loneliness in a way I hope never to experience firsthand. He shows us how love, when it's desperate and dysfunctional, can ruin a relationship and perhaps even a civilization. Bottom line is that he "gets" people and shares his compassionate appreciation for our flaws and our well-intentioned missteps, even when this revelation is far from the sunbeams and rainbows we hope he'll provide.
