Because you might love it
If you loved The Fall of Hyperion
-
Dune
Another dense, philosophical science-fiction epic about power, religion and the future of humanity.
-
Neuromancer
Shorter and more streetwise, but just as interested in artificial minds and what they want.
-
The Three-Body Problem
Equally ambitious about civilisations and cosmic threat, with a more scientific flavour.
