I enjoyed the interactions between Dietrich by the standards of his time a very learned man and the Kraken as they try to explain cosmology or electronics to him.
I thought we'd take a look at Hyperion and what makes it great, why it's often considered to be one of the best science fiction books ever.
I am enjoying it, but I'm having to work a little bit for it.
