r/scifi

I loved Hyperion so much. Each pilgrim’s story was so good and they all had their own unique style. I’m really intrigued to learn more about the world of Hyperion and the shrike, but I’m wondering how do the sequels compare? Are they as good as the first novel and would you recommend reading them?

As the title says, do you guys know any sci-fi novels (or maybe shows/films) that have batshit insane wars?

By batshit insane, I mean:

• Grueling wars with absurd casualty counts,

• Sprawling wars that have no end.

• Over-the-top wars. Galactic or planetary.

• Wars that have extreme technological shenanigans of any kind.

Some examples off the top of my head...

1. Animatrix, second renaissance part 2.

2. Warhammer, literally anything Warhammer.

3. And, the Mona Lisa of Grimdark, Xeelee Sequence.
