Dick, Isaac Asimov, and the great Arthur C.

It is a monumental achievement by a single man, a Magnum Opus, I dare say, of a writer Dan Simmons. There is no way around it, so I’ll just put it out there – In my opinion, Hyperion is not just the modern-day classic but also one of the finest works of its genre. In this sense, Hyperion represents the ultimate destination, a sanctuary for those who seek meaning in their short and trivial lives, such are the seven pilgrims on their journey. Although set in the universe that is immeasurable, barely traversable, and filled with thousands of worlds, the story is still entangled by a single thread of destiny – the world of Hyperion and its buried secrets. If you are a fan of epic sci-fi space opera literature, you have either read or heard of the titan of its genre – the Hyperion Cantos.
