Silozul. Începuturile

Scientists make nanites, tiny robots that find and heal illness. The robots can also make copies of themselves. At the same time, drug makers create a pill. It makes people forget the trauma they have lived through. These two advances give humans the means to destroy themselves. They can also forget their own role in that harm. A few people see the threat and seek safety underground. Once there, they have no way back.

Hugh Howey tells how the silo began in this novel. It is dystopian science fiction, with a bleak view of life. It links the threat that all humans could die with lost memories. This is the second book in the SILOZUL series. It also sets up the next book. Ana-Veronica Mircea translates the English original, Shift, into Romanian.
