2 months agoDefinitely to early to give it classic status but Hyperion is the most exciting book I’ve read in a long time. I feel like a couple of the stories are weak but some of them are absolutely riveting and the overarching mystery is quite compelling.
It’s a shame the sequels only got worse and worse.
Can someone explain the draw of foundations. I found it incredibly boring in terms of prose, structure and overall concepts.
I will admit that I straight up don’t vibe with the main gimmick, the fact that they can essentially predict the future by knowing enough about the past. Chaos theory throws a massive wrench in that idea and I found it hard to get in to the novel when so much relied on a concept that makes no sense practically.
