Everyone should do themselves a favor and read "The Hyperion Cantos" by Dan Simmons. It's a great allegory of the current state of the world.

I recently finished the Hyperion Cantos series and I've been thinking about some of the ideas... Notably what happens at the end of the second book and how I see it as a metaphor to what some of us in the fediverse and indieweb are trying to do in terms of tech and healing that part of our society. I'm going to try to write a blog post or maybe do a video talking about it. I just hope it's intelligible to others.

I'm going on a picnic by the river to finish the last two chapters of the book I'm reading. I'm bringing ginger beer, veggy chicken nuggets, and dauphine potatoes AND NONE OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS CAN STOP ME!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Finally was able to put together the first three books of the Hyperion series. Had books 1 and 3 for about a year.

So, nach dem phantastischen #kaskade von #MichaelMarrak folgt nun endlich #Hyperion von #DanSimmons
Vor langer Zeit gekauft, als ich eine SF-Klassikerliste abarbeiten wollte, jetzt nu aber aus dem Regal geangelt.
Illium und Olympos fand ich damals toll, Kinder der Nacht jedoch nicht. Mal gucken, wie sein berühmtestes Werk heute auf mich wirkt.

I need a studio to seriously spend some cash and make the #Hyperion Cantos into a high quality series. I'm talking #GoT #LoTR level quality or better.

There are parts of this series I need to see onscreen:
- the Shrike Tree
- the #Shrike
- #Nemes
- resurrection creche
- the River Tethys
- the #Technocore
- the poet's home composed of rooms on different planets connected by #farcaster portals
- #Templar treeships and their lances, esp. the Shrike and Nemes fight

I still think Saturn's moon Hyperion looks like a giant wasp's nest.
