During the extra bank holiday, I’ve sought sanctuary in Silo, Apple TV+’s dystopian sci-fi adaptation. The first two episodes dropped day-one and I’m hooked! Whereas Foundation was a shiny screensaver that failed to resonate with this viewer, Silo’s a prestige drama filled with conspiracy and clawing claustrophobia, themes I’ll never tire of since The X-Files’ heyday!
Living in a silo is a great setting for sci fi, I have used this concept myself in a piece I wrote a while ago to capture some ideas. It‘s almost as complex as living in a generation populated interstellar ship, where the inhabitants culture morphs and evolves and mutates over time and new hierarchies and class systems get established around limited resources. Logan‘s run was one of the best movies in that setting, juxtaposing an age limited hedonistic society with an unknown „outside“. It is very reminiscent of this and I am looking forward to what spin the auteurs have put on the tropes
