The story is also very compelling and terrifying, to tell the true. But by disease he meant any ideas that went against the doctrine he was taught. In his mind, he was doing the good work to keep the silo safe and to burn out any signs of disease before it infected the whole silo. And like all the best villains out there, he didn’t believe he was actually evil.
And of course, I loved to hate our main villain. He was mildly irritating when we first met him, but I guess he just really needed someone to take care of. He had never wanted the responsibility, and the enormity of the secret IT was hiding pushed him almost to the breaking point. I was frustrated with Lucas, but I understood why he behaved like he did. No matter how dire her circumstances were, she never gave up, she always found a way to go forward. Which hurts even more when the inevitable confrontation happens, and blood is spilled. Some you love, some you love to hate, but none will leave you indifferent.
I am also impressed with the large cast of characters introduced in these books. I’m glad Hugh Howey does all that and does it brilliantly.
I need to know the rules, and I need the author to follow those rules or have a good reason or explanation for breaking them. But I need to believe in the world I am introduced to. Heck, that’s why I read science fiction and fantasy in the first place. I am willing to suspend my disbelief when I pick up a book. The author laid out the rules of his world and followed them rigorously throughout the story. At no point in the story did I have to suspend my disbelief or cringe because the science didn’t add up. I loved how well thought out the world of Silo was. This is excellent storytelling and excellent science fiction. Thanks to the Cleaning out your TBR list challenge, I finally decided to read it, and I don’t understand why I waited so long. This book has been languishing on my TBR list since 2013.
