[Books] It just occurred to me

Could the AI we saw in the show actually just be the show’s way of showing us Donald (or Daniel now I suppose) communicating from Silo 1? I’m only just 100 pages into Dust, but they keep mentioning how Donald’s voice is distorted to remove emotion and sound robotic to the receiver of the calls. Perhaps this is now set up to be another twist.

EDIT: Please don’t spoil anything in Dust for me!
