Hyperion : Simmons, Dan: desertcart.ae: Books Review: Very enjoyable read and no issues with the print. Review: Dan Simmons has the ability to send vivid images to your imagination, and make them come alive. The story itself, composed of intertwining plots, unravels as each one of the protagonists offers his or her own version of events. This is the first book of the Hyperion Cantos. If you like it, be sure to check out The Fall of Hyperion, which brings the first part of Dan Simmons' Hyperion History to a close. There are two follow up novels, Endymion and The Rise of Endymion, which are a continuation of the narrative arch initiated with Hyperion. These books are all full of intertextuality and are laced with (English) literary, historical and philosophical references (apart from the one Simmons invents). If you like reflexive Sci-Fi you will fall in love with the Hyperion Cantos.

Premier volume des Cantos d'Hypérion, ce livre est pour moi un de mes grands classiques de la SF. C'est un incontournable.

Wonderful scene setting against a broad universe of twists and turns. The commentary on AI and human dependency on technology is well ahead of it's time. Amazing book
