Hyperion author Dan Simmons dies from stroke at 77 - Sopuli

Lemmy

I loved especially Hyperion, but I said my final goodbye the day I opened Flashback… what an awful piece of rear end production that was.

The Hyperion series was awesome, original, well-thought out, spiced with a background of Enoch the Prophet, flying space trees … and I’ll cherish it forever.

Flashback not so much, what a hateful piece of right wing trash that was. And I’m not necessarily against a solid story that makes me think or even just learn to appreciate other’s viewpoints, but this was more like something Ben Shapiro would write. “leftie bad hur durr”, you probably know what I mean. On top of that, it was shattered, incoherent and relied insanely on Deus Ex Machina constructions throughout.

I never understood and I never ever will I. Sad.

I never understood and I never ever will I.

Oh, I understand it. Simmons was too eager to tell us why he didn’t like “certain people.”

Oh definitely. I just never understood how this could be the same author.
