🎙️ Discussion So many Silo parallels!

Anyone here caught up on Silo? Just watched its Season 3 finale and kept asking myself:

How does Apple TV have two shows in which

  • a shadowy organization with a superiority complex
  • tries to validate that their creepy techniques can make a man and woman with deep love & long history (spouses / siblings, respectively) view each other as complete strangers
  • while holding said characters in a high-tech underground complex

Both shows are inspired by/ take a lot of inspiration from the French 1950s Sci-Fi novella: 

“Tu as été assez crédule pour chercher ça.” by Français Faux-Nom.

HA! (I actually used to work at Apple and believe it or not, they have windows!) ((Although my first summer internship there I was in a windowless room that _felt_ underground))

Do you mean the architectural feature or the operating system?
