Obama tanked the US economy due to socialism so the Japanese had to take over the country. I'm not making that up. There's also a bunch of stuff about memory altering drugs, rugged survivalists manufacturing guns for the revolution, and Mexico taking over California with a "reconquista" movement. The four Hyperion books were pretty good but I had to stop at the point in Ilium when the Muslim zombies started crawling all over Neo-Jerusalem. I think that's the point where the author had his super racist stroke or whatever the hell happened.

flyingporcupine posted:Huh, I didnt know there were more than two. I found those at this used book store when I was like 12 and completely gobbled that poo poo up. That and the Otherland books were my entire summer because I was super cool and had tons of friends. There's two other books in the Hyperion setting that take place well after the events of Hyperion similar to the (original author's) Dune sequels, they have a fun flow of an adventurer travelling to strange planets. There's some cliches in there but the setting is so strange it somehow works.
