Shift 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, humankind discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened

hat Shift von Hugh Howey besprochen (Silo, #2)

Dear Hugh, why?

In "Wool" you caught my attention and kept me on the edge of my seat, reading way past my bedtime.

"Shift" however was a ridiculously long flashback. Everything comes to a complete and utter stop. And yes, I did read the whole damn thing because I might not be able to grasp the full ramifications of the third part.

This really should have been a prequel. But that's not all... The writing was weaker, the women felt very "written by a man", and then there were the plot holes... I stumbled through to the end.

Writing this now I feel absolutely annoyed about the whole experience. Let's see if the spark of "Wool" is strong enough for me to pick up "Dust".
