Dan Simmons, author of Hyperion, has died

you mean, author of Song of Kali.

RIP Dan

If one enjoys the Hyperion books, then it is highly likely one would also enjoy the Ilium books.

It's nice that he ruminated on these old stories these books riff on without being smug about it.

It's sad that he didn't manage to resist the fear based, fiercely reactionary politics of the last quarter of a century or so.

I picked up Hyperion on a whim on Kindle because it was on sale for 2$.

Amazing book, I bought and loved the other 3, I still hope they do a good miniseries with the books.

Does this book date well, or is it cheest/unreadable like Neuromancer?

Fuck
