Plot Summary of Hyperion

Each tells their story, in an attempt to create a picture of what might happen when the time tonbs, moving backward through time, open. At the same time, the Hegemony, governing hundreds of planets, is moving towards war with the Ousters (Humans who stay in space), and everyone is trying to find out more about the Technocore - AI's who run much of the Hegemony's political and communicative structures, and who have their own agenda..."
