How does one person come up with so many ideas… while there’s great originality in Hyperion, there are also great examples of borrowing and imitation, for example there is a sequence where Braun Lamia gets a hacker friend to hack into the AI’s database (I can’t remember the proper terms sorry) which draws heavily on Neuromancer. Also in general Hyperion draws together different genres in a really great way. Btw for those who like Amazon Audible, I recommend the audiobook version.
