The Silo Series by Hugh Howey - Book Review & Discussion

[@zachsegala9929]

Just found the channel chasing silo tv insights - really enjoyed the discussion! You’ve gained another sub! Haven’t listened to anything else yet, but for what it’s worth, I enjoyed the conflicting perspectives!

[@hugonautspod]

Welcome, so glad you liked! We’re working on some more episodes about books we disagree on soon, gotta dig up the ones we read in the past and one of us liked but the other didn’t (and so we didn’t cover in the early days of the show)

It’s bizarre not to venture to the bottom? Well, does he ever venture into the hood?

[@hugonautspod]

Ya course!

Man, I really wasn't diggin the second book as I got into it (mainly b/c I was so into the first story line), but y'all might have convinced me to give it another shot.

[@hugonautspod]

It all comes back together eventually!

Sounds like Brent wants to do a Thirteenth Floor - Movie Review & Discussion video and I'm here for it

[@hugonautspod]

We always talk about maybe doing movie review someday. Haha maybe someday!

I was certainly curious as to how you were going to handle this when you mentioned it, since I knew from the Discord you had differing opinions. Thank you, gentlemen.

"For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched This Window"

i read it as that the average persons pace of the floors is faster than the couple days the mayor takes. shes an older woman shes clearly having a harder time than others traveling and she stops a few times to greet the people. ill also add that the release of the first book was weird, basically he wrote the first section that focuses on becker as a stand alone, howey didnt plan to write more but it picked up traction so he decided to continue the story and i think thats why you get a lot of the reader knows more than the main character. i do agree with a lot of the pros and cons though.

Another fooled population story: Taklamakan by Bruce Sterling. A great read.

[@hugonautspod]

Thanks for the rec!

[@KaylasBestie]

Have you read the graphic novel?

[@hugonautspod]

Not yet - is it worth reading?

[@EricLucero]

The Silo series is fantastic. One of my favorite SF series of all time. 5/5 The suspension of disbelief arguments were nonsense and I'm seemed to show a lack of understanding. Books like Hyperion or Foundation are WAY more ridiculous, requiring far more suspension of disbelief...but they get a pass because they are concensus classics. 😒

i need spoilers bro, im after spoilers

[@hugonautspod]

You want em, we got em

Oh, and Non-Stop by Brian Aldiss. A generation ship, loss of knowledge and a lot of lies. It’s a really good book. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Stop_(novel)
