Hugh Howey

"Hugh Howey spent eight years living on boats and working as a yacht captain for the rich and famous. It wasn't until the love of his life carried him away from these vagabond ways that he began to pursue literary adventures, rather than literal ones.

Hugh wrote and self-published his first young adult novel, Molly Fyde and the Parsona Rescue. The Molly Fyde series won rave reviews and praise from readers but it was the release of Wool that made his career take off.

Hugh lives in Jupiter, Florida with his wife Amber and their dog Bella. Op bol.com vind je alle boeken van Hugh Howey, waaronder het nieuwste boek van Hugh Howey.

Samenvatting

NOW A SERIES ON APPLE TV+ THAT STEPHEN KING CALLS “MYSTERIOUS AND TERRIFICALLY SUSPENSEFUL.... EXCELLENT SCIENCE FICTION WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL CHARACTERS."

In this second volume in the New York Times best-selling Silo 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, 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?

  • A must read after Wool

    Positieve punten

    • Goede verhaallijn
    • Meeslepend verhaal
    • Spannend

    Five stars - a must read, but only after you read Wool (another of my five star faves).

    Although Shift is a prequel, it answers many of the mysteries from Wool. Reading it first would steal Wool's suspense. Besides answering the big mysteries, the author also includes little clues and details in the two books that provoke "ah-hah" moments. While you are at it, go ahead and buy Dust - the sequel continuing where Wool leaves off, don't skip this book though, even if its a prequel, it answers plenty of questions that need answering before reading Dust.

    Without a doubt, the story is apocalyptic and somewhat depressing, yet I could not turn my attention away. I feel similarly when watching House of Cards - evil people getting away with murder, while I watch in horrified fascination. I don't necessarily buy the science in Shift, but I could easily suspend my disbelief for the sake of the story.

    The writing is engaging and fast reading. Despite the length, I finished it in less than two days. As in Wool, the characters are extremely well developed and engaging, whether good or evil. All ring true, including the minor characters. In fact, the entire series is disturbingly real in its predictions of human behavior and interactions when placed in this setting.

    I want everyone to read this series. We need the reminder that our current civilization is extremely fragile and should not be taken for granted.

  • geweldige trilogie...

    Positieve punten

    • Goed plot
    • Meeslepend verhaal

    geweldige trilogie...het is ook wel realistisch want zoiets zou in de toekomst best mogelijk zijn. Bizarre twist in de loop van het verhaal ook. Heel spannend en jammer dat het afgelopen was.
