Shift (Silo #2) - Hugh Howey

Virtual Book Club Sequel Event - February 2026

Come join us online to discuss the Sequel to a Deadly Education, The Last Graduate by Naomi Novak!

Here is a short synopsis from Goodreads:

The second volume in the New York Times best-selling Silo series. Hugh Howey goes back to show the first days 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.

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.
