should we read the book?


I don't know anything about Silo, and I'm not watching the show, but YES, you should ALWAYS read the book.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

It wasn't supr compelling, but I guess I'm still on board _enough_ to continue to next season.
Think I might have to read the book,  it doesn't make sense the way they're running this, there's no reason to hide stuff, they could have field trips whenever people _stop believing_ the outside is bad if it's really bad,   and if it's really good,  what reason could there possibly be to keep living in a hole.

Wiikipedia has a good breakdown of the books.
Frankly the best is yet to come, that's why I was annoyed it would end like this, especially if it's cancelled now..

Why hide stuff? It makes sense to the overall story. Sort of. Why not just tell the truth, who knows.
The one thing I will say is that the author likes to rug pull, annoying since the story is good enough on it's own.

Just watched it. I dont know what to think about it...
One thing I liked it, but on the other hand, it pissed me off cutting the story like that. We knew its gonna happen anyway.
I looked at wiki and read about books - looks like indeed, like Lesieann said, loads is still to happen, all the good stuff at least looks like it. Now they gonna keep us waiting for a year or two to see second season, if it ever happens...

What the hell was that? So pretty view was an "virtual image" then? Now we saw loads of silos around with a city on the horizon.
What was about that tape?

She says "They're good in supply"...
Go back and watch everyone else's suit used multiple wraps of recycled tape, supply gave her the good stuff, sealing her suit better.


As for the virtual image in the suit..
That's part of the rug pull I was referring to. It's a constant back and forth through the books about what is seen outside in terms of nature. Kind of maddening if you're trying to make sense because it doesn't always seem to make sense other than misdirection for the sake of misdirection and drama. I haaaaate that in shows. Not that I'm aware of an answer, but any book/wiki based answer could be altered for the show so even speculation would be pointless. I read most, if not all the Wikipedia article and I don't recall a mention of the suit even having a screen.

Tp4 is finally understanding why he's so obsessed with Air Purifiers,   it makes it feel like he's living in S1L0.

Spent $700 on air purifiers so far. New Sensor coming today.
