i'm re-reading the hyperion cantos and the religious elements stand out in an odd way now knowing how dan simmons went nuts after 9/11 i'm not as down as others on the second half of the quadrilogy - transforming the setting into a post-fall theocracy founded on a macguffin from the first two books was interesting.

I’m re-reading Anathem by Neal Stephenson, and tbh finding it kind of tedious. Every other page is “oh look, another random thing that Stephenson has to spend a page bringing you up to speed on the history of” or “oh look, some other random bullshit theory with a stupid name that some Fraa has to explain”. And what was the point of the whole “going over the pole” sojourn? It takes a long time and he’s basically just slogging around. Stephenson can be so exhausting.

re-reading Artefact Space, and then try to reread Weber, and man, Cameron is so much better at this than Weber is.
