About halfway through the forth (last) book in the Hyperion Cantos. Really have enjoying the series and sad to be near the end. Science fiction meets mystery and religion (kinda).
The first book was published in the late '80s and the author (Dan Simmons) essentially predicts the "internet or world wide web." It's much different in the books but it's about interconnected people/worlds/information/ultimate intelligence.
It was ok. Kinda hard to read at times due to the author jumping around a lot. Interesting to read about the rule changes over time and the near death of football.
