I went into Hyperion blind, decades ago, knowing almost nothing about it. I was never the same.

    Crazy, right? That some dude obsessed with Jesus metaphors, space Catholicism, social “degeneration,” and how Empire is Good, actually, as long as it doesnt do any of that pesky welfare would be a conservative phobe?

    Idk Hyperion was good though. Well, I thought it was just okay, but I see why people liked it.
