La aventura épica de Hyperion alcanza su clímax cuando los peregrinos se reúnen ante las Tumbas del Tiempo y éstas se abren para liberar el Alcaudón. Los humanos de la Hegemonía y de los enjambres éxter, las Inteligencias Artificiales del TecnoNúcleo, los peregrinos del Alcaudón, el cíbrido que reproduce la personalidad de John Keats, se verán envueltos en la compleja trama del tiempo, del poder, la guerra, la inteligencia, la religión y el amor. Con gran maestría, Simmons logra en La caída de Hyperion una brillante conclusión al articular hábilmente todas las piezas temáticas presentadas.
Evidente homenaje a John Keats, la saga de Hyperion es, a juicio de todos los críticos, uno de los títulos fundamentales de la ciencia ficción moderna.
this book avoids a lot of the problems of its prequel. the story is richer, the characters are more interesting and interact with each other more, the gigantic world is explored and detailed more, and the large-scale philosophical + political developments are crafted with patience and precision. I feel fulfilled after being slightly disappointed by book 1 overall.
Amazing but tough to read sequel to the hugo award winning Hyperion follows the pilgrims on their voyage to the unpredictable Hyperion. Taking parallels from the life of the poet John Keats the story revolves about the place the AI holds in the people's lives. Tough choices, reasonings and an ending that contradicts the facade of the book, a brilliant voyage where the people from the future have no better music than the celebrated classics and Beatles coated with great science fiction ideas about instant travel. This is tough especially at the ending but sure worth the experience. I wished Dan SImmons had been more crisp with the thoughts, seemed elaborate than what would've suited the flow of the book but still loved it.
