One, who is new, lucky you, by the way, ought consider reading it in chronological order, although the series set closest to now, Salvation lost, is still unfinished, so better read before in the following order: It also makes me wonder why he is the only author I know of who did this.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Hamilton´s future vision is to see the technology and society developing in very detail over long periods of time, making a return to his universe something always stunning and inspiring. This wise, just joking, advice is added to all reviews of Hamiltons´series. Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique: Hamilton does this a lot, while other authors are more focusing on the well known action plots, he takes underappreciated and never executed ideas and makes them big, driving forces of his ingenious masterpieces. Cool allegory, by the way, humans who could have everything to find a fulfilling life prefer endangering not just themselves, but many others, because their intuitive idiocy told them so.Ī list of physics and astrophysics tropes can, not just for experts who can visualize and imagine the forces while colorful numbers are popping up in their amazing brains, be a fascinating tool to define the laws and mechanisms of sci-fi series, establishing new senses of wonders, making suspension of disbelief easier, and finding completely new combinations of beloved genre archetypes. There is a deep irony in the fact that the ever so sophisticated 4th millennia humans are still so prone to occult faith sect group think madnesses, no matter how ultimately destructive the consequences of their fringe enlightenment might be. And guess what, advanced tech doesn´t mean better brains, technological singularity comes many millennia before higher brain functions and logic dominate over instinct ridden, animalistic tribe behavior.
By linking 2 parallel, different universes, dimensions, realities co dependent in potential mutually assured destruction, Hamilton unleashes an amazing plot dynamic.ĭreams enabling a connection to parallel, or separated, or other, dimensions, are used as a central visionary element to accelerate the development towards typical reactions, depending on the technological and sociocultural stage of the population.
