Talk:Hyperion Cantos

message: Settings:  Folks, there is a huge amount of storyline spoiler elements listed in the 'settings' section of this article, especially revealing elements about the technology offered by the core that are presented as 'wham' moments in the books, listing them here removes much emotional impact. Any objections to me re-writing it to remove/obscure these elements?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:7738:5000:4944:1DBA:A8B6:1357 (talk) 15:14, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

message: I think that we should split this up into smaller articles, for example, "Planets of the Hyperion Cantos" should probably be its own article, for the sake of space, if nothing else.
The summaries of each book should probably be removed, since all of the main articles for the books contain (overly) extensive summaries of each book.
Does anyone have any ideas on how we could reduce the length of the character lists? (Perhaps we should remove that to a separate article as well?)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DriftingLeaf (talk • contribs) 06:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Split the planets section into Planets of the Hyperion Cantos. Cut the summaries down and removed the character lists; all that info is available in each book's main article. Kafziel Complaint Department 19:23, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

text: Great work in 'cutting'.. the net result is that now the list of planets in the Hyperion universe, which for some reason I was looking after, no longer exist anywhere. This and other 'cleaned' articles are the reason I do not partecipate in the Wikipedia anymore... Maybe you should ask people to donate hard drives instead of money, since space seems so precious, articles must be smaller, stuff must be cut out ... Keep cleaning, delete everything.

thread_title:  Cutting out the chaff 

message: A technology section was part of the page for a while but was recently cut, I've restored it because I think it added quite a lot to the explanation of the setting and if there's going to be a section listing all the planets why not the key technologies? They play a big part in the story. Also having a technology section is a common part of SF pages in general. Veritasvoswiki (talk) 21:51, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Current text says:
'A large number of technological elements are acknowledged by Simmons to be inspired by elements of Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World.'
According to wikipedia, out of control was published in 1994. Hyperion books were 89/90 I think.
Hyperion is about time travel so I'm not ruling out that Simmons traveled forward to read the book. But if yes (1) why didn't he bring back stock market predictions and (2) this article should be expanded to include the explanatory note about retrieving 'out of control' from the future.
