These stories are, individually, mind-blowingly good - in concert, they are little short of breathtaking. This is science fiction at its very best, and its avoidance of simple answers satisfies me deeply. I can't wait to read the next book.

Maybe I should join along in your journey. A big gap in my reading, lying there to be harvested like Easter eggs.

It's hard to pick one, Guillermo, but either the Priest's Tale, or Sol's story of his daughter. Yours?
That is a great way of phrasing it!

ha, you should, it's the best piece of science fiction I read in years. Its a pity that rest of the books in series arent THAT good (i mean they are great, but Hyperion is simply a masterpiece). I personaly started reading it in bookshop and just ended buying it after 10 pages.

I've not had the time to write a review for this and many other books that I read pre-Goodreads. If I had to "steal" from one, this would be it.

Dan, I don't have the next book to hand, but I am eager to read it.
I'm glad to hear so many other people have loved this one as well!

I'm fond of the book Altered Carbon. (Haven't seen the new show.). Very recently, Madeleine Ashby's been making some interesting forays into the genre. I'm reading Company Town right now, and it would definitely fit the bill.
