I doubt anyone cares about my take on this book. But I'm already 4 parts deep, might as well finish it out.
So I just finished part 5, and it wasn't very good. I think they were going for a Noir detective thing with genders reversed. Where the hard detective is a woman, and then the most beautiful man she ever sees comes in asking for help. IDK, I never been into noir stuff, so it was all meh to me.

Still there was a lot of explaining about AIs and their involvement in the world, so that was interesting. I think the events of Jonny's case, is suppose to parallel what the pilgrims have to do at Hyperion. To use a simulation of the future, in order to create an entity of the past, who then dies and is carried inside a vessel, until they're eventually reborn into a new body. I don't know, maybe I'm completely wrong. The story is really straining my ability to comprehend. But I'm thinking that Rachel will be reborn somehow. But not exactly as the Rachel we knew. Rather, as someone else capable of far more.

I'm probably way off. Oh well. I'm still digging the story. Hopefully it won't remain *too* mysterious by the end. I need some things explained.
