Before the silo, there was the secret. And the choice that changed everything.
In Shift, the chilling second installment of Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling Silo series, the origins of humanity’s last refuge are finally revealed. Long before Wool and Juliette’s rebellion, a convergence of cutting-edge science and government control sparked a quiet catastrophe—one that would bury the truth beneath concrete and lies.
As nanotechnology promises miracles and trauma-erasing pills tempt forgetfulness, those in power must choose: control the chaos or let the world burn. Their decision? Build the silos.
Taut, thought-provoking, and hauntingly prescient, Shift unravels the events that led to the end of the world—and forces us to ask whether humanity deserves a second chance.
What would you sacrifice to survive?
