Description
SEASON 2 OF THE ACCLAIMED SILO SERIES - BASED ON BOOK 1, WOOL - NOW ON APPLE TV+ In this Silo series prequel, the second volume in the New York Times best-selling dystopian series, Hugh Howey describes the catastrophic events that led to the creation 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. The technology has an almost limitless capacity for good-but in the wrong hands, it could have an equally boundless capacity for evil. 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 in this gripping work of post-apocalyptic science fiction, and the ability to forget it ever happened. With this godlike power at their fingertips, can humanity be trusted to create a new-and better-world? Or is it doomed to bring about its own destruction? THE STORY CONTINUES IN: DUST
