Opinions will differ ofc</p><p>Thoughts -</p><ul><li>the main plotline is being held to, vs the books</li><li>the enforcer role of the Judicary on TV. Cool, but is this even IN the books?</li><li>Love the casting of Tim Robbins as the IT / Silo head aka Bernard</li><li>I like the TV series hard drive discovery from Salvador Quinn, prior head of IT (who has a far more boring name in the books, I forget what)</li><li>Characters have been modified, not <em>necessarily</em> in a bad way</li><li>Book 3 'Dust' felt a bit meh, a scifi trilogy wrap-up. 'Wool' and 'Shift' were excellent reads. As are the three short stories</li><li>So much room for prequels/arcs, like the first two of the short stories. Eg. into the history of nanobot development, the science/politics at the time. Also Silo 40 -a whole arc is waiting there</li></ul><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Silo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Silo</span></a></p>
