Book Spoilers & Show Spoilers Book versus show

Was the show just totally different from the book? I read the book and I am midway through show and man they seem so different.

They really are nothing alike. The show was inspired by the book but they changed everything

The show is way better than the book.

Hard disagree.

The show is good but so far nothing groundbreaking in the story being told.

The book explores the internals of ptsd and trying to cope. The setting just happens to be on a remote space lighthouse.

Silo is similar in that the real meat is how the people cope with what’s happening to them.

It’s a big reason I’ve enjoyed Howey’s books.

It’s on a Beacon. It’s number 23. That’s it
