In the same year, the CBS network re-aired a program about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill, it had been discovered, could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event. At almost the same moment in humanity's broad history, mankind had discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened. This is the sequel to the New York Times best-selling Wool series. categories: - Fiction authors: - [[Hugh Howey]] published_on: 2016 publisher: John Joseph Adams pages: 579 isbn: 544839641 cover: http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Qw30DwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api local_cover: 50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/Shift (book).jpg link: https://amzn.to/3ZX7g5z tags: - type/book - books - summaries - zone/areas - zone/areas/literature_notes created: 2024-08-24T17:52 updated: 2026-04-01T14:43 public_note: true rating: ★★★★★ --- # Shift (book) - Author(s): [[Hugh Howey]] - Link: https://amzn.to/3ZX7g5z ![[50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/Shift (book).jpg|200]] # Brief description Second Tome of the "Silo" series of [[Hugh Howey]].
