Mechanical vs IT: Silo's Class Divide

The class tension at the heart of Silo's social structure.

By Showmaster8 min read1,700 words

The silo's social structure mirrors our own class divides. IT controls information from above; Mechanical keeps everything running from below. Neither can survive without the other, yet they barely speak.

The Divide

  • Controls information
  • Lives in relative comfort
  • Makes decisions about life and death
  • Sees themselves as protectors
  • Keeps the generator running
  • Essential but overlooked
  • Know the silo's physical secrets
  • See themselves as the true survivors

The tension isn't just philosophical—it's the silo's greatest vulnerability.
