Description
The Hyperion Omnibus by Dan Simmons In a distant future, the universe is threatened by the warlike Ousters and the mysterious schemes of the AI TechnoCore. Seven pilgrims embark on a final voyage to the legendary Time Tombs on Hyperion, home to the Shrike, a creature with powers that transcend time and space. Their goal is to die before discovering the secrets of the universe. As the Time Tombs open, the Shrike rises, and the fate of all mankind hangs in the balance. The Ousters lay siege to the Hegemony of Man, and the AIs created by humans have turned against them to build the Ultimate Intelligence, God. The Shrike's power draws the entire universe towards it, bringing together disparate forces in a catastrophic confrontation. This Hugo Award-winning landmark in Science Fiction offers a superb vision of future technology and ancient religions, scientific revelation and timeless mystery, transcendent joy and mind-bending horror.
