Dan Simmons
1989
Eight centuries from now-- long after the Big Mistake and the death of Old Earth-- humanity is again on the brink of war. Galactic war this time.
Diving into the 'Hyperion Cantos' is akin to assembling a mosaic of interstellar odysseys, each piece an intricate narrative that challenges the conventional contours of time and space. Simmons' world-building is nothing short of a triumph, melding genres and bending the rules of narrative structure. The way he crafts his characters' journeys across the far reaches of the cosmos is a masterclass in speculative fiction. Though occasionally dense, the rewards of deciphering his complex narrative layers are unparalleled.
