Started and finished season one of over the last week or so.

DAMN that’s some good shit.

I mean, it checks several of my personal boxes—

  • ontological mystery
  • post-apocalyptic lost technology
  • crisis in a closed ecosystem
  • interesting world-building
  • intrigue coming out the wazoo

—but I think it’s pretty compelling TV independent of those factors. High production value…which has not been the case for a lot of recent SFF prestige TV, IMHO.

@jepyang it... gets... so... much... BETTER. you don't think it can possibly get better AND THEN IT DOES.

These books sold me on Hugh Howey. My OCD gets mainlined with good authors and he's no exception, I've read nearly everything he's written. And keep finding more and I know I have to catch up now, too.

These books aren't known to me as Silo, I think of them as Wool, Wool II (Shift), and Wool III (Dust). :) So when I see I have to translate that to

Immediately after I finished this trilogy I devoured the Sand series, plus fanfic. Then I chomped through all his space stuff, which is some of his BEST stuff. Not Wool-level mindblowing (imho), but still ... his universe building is like watercolor paints. Half Way Home is spectacular.

And guess what? There's another show. Beacon 23, that's the same author. I don't know if it's as good, but I wanna see it. The books are also fantastic.
