Hyperion author Dan Simmons dies from stroke at 77
I went into Hyperion blind, decades ago, knowing almost nothing about it. I was never the same.

@arstechnica One of the worst books I’ve ever read. The author held some truly despicable beliefs & said some awful things, too.

I hope he healed whatever ailment made him that way & was a better person before he died.
