Im also liking the Endymion part of the tale. Fast paced and unpredictable. I just love pondering the idea of the Galaxy run by a militarized Catholic Church. So out there but totally plausible in the story line. The "Cruciform" gave new meaning to "Born Again Christians".

RIP Dan Simmons. Im actually half way through book 3 of the Hyperion Cantos. Some of the best scifi Ive ever read, cant put it down! Highly recommend.
I noticed the Ars headline then right above it is an article about virtual photos and immediately thought about "the void which binds" and the "Techno Core".
#Hyperion
Unfortunately I hated the second chapter so much that I don't feel like reading on. There is enough war in the real world. I don't need to read about fictional wars in addition to that.
Aw, sad to hear about Dan Simmons passing away. Hyperion was my gateway to science fiction.

I felt exactly the same the author of this article described he felt after reading Hyperion. RIP Dan Simmons.
Dan Simmons, the author of more than three dozen books, including the famed Hyperion Cantos, has died from a stroke. He was 77.

Dan Simmons ist am 21. Februar 2026 im Alter von 77 Jahren gestorben #RIP🕯️
Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Autoren der modernen Science-Fiction, seine Hyperion Gesänge und den Ilium/Olympos-Zyklus habe ich mit Begeisterung gelesen

Pues ha muerto Dan Simmons, escritor entre otros de #hyperion
https://bookwyrm.social/book/151613/s/hyperion-hyperion-cantos
El primer libro son varios relatos en los que peregrinos venidos desde otros mundos hacen un viaje para encontrarse con el #alcaudon una entidad entre divina y demoniaca que reside en el planeta Hyperion.
Lo lei hace más de 10 años y no recuerdo muchos detalles así que no me extenderé, pero decir que es una colección de relatos de #terror y #cienciaficcion que confluyen en una trama común.
En los siguientes libros se ahoanda en esa trama y se desarrolla.
Si lo que buscas es #solarpunk esto es un poco lo opuesto. Aunque recuerdo que tenía ciertas notas de optimismo.
#dansimmons
#Hyperion
Next up is Teilhard. Again, I was familiar with the name, but I didn't even know that he lived in the 20th century. Looks like Duré's exile and expeditions are based on his life.
I started #Hyperion, and I'm educated enough to recognize that the structure is based on the Canterbury Tales, but I haven't actually read them. I wonder what other references I might be missing.

I don't have any time to write a proper Dan Simmons obituary, but I have conflicting thoughts, to say the least. The Hyperion books are master classes in plotting. He had a range as far-reaching as Jack Vance. But he was also a hateful right-wing Islamophobe. Ugh.
I could never figure out how a guy who wrote a book like #Hyperion could wind up getting radicalized, but anyway the quality of that book is undeniable. Easily one of the best “space opera’s” of all time.
RIP, too bad that mea culpa never came around. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/longmont-co/daniel-simmons-12758871
