Hyperion is a banger...was the first book to make me feel like this has all been done before, and that our creative ideas are from a future already stored to memory that we unconsciously access... And also, which iteration am I?

I know I’m 34 years late to this but Hyperion is INCREDIBLE. It nails the world building. The prose sings. The narrative structure seamlessly interweaves poetry and religious myths and classic tales. Wow wow wow 10/10 you should read. I’ve already ordered book 2.

Sometimes award-winning sci-fi books can be based on classics like this. Canterbury Tales…in space. That’s the setup magnificently executed in this novel. Seven pilgrims are journeying to Hyperion on the eve of the end of everything. On Hyperion live the Shrike, creatures that are worshipped and feared. These pilgrims have their tales, their secrets, and one may change the course of human history.
