/lit/ - Literature

I recently finished the Hyperion triology on audible. (Victor Bovine is a great narrator by the way.) The books dabbed too much into fantasy and the methaphorical in my oppinion. The underage love interest was also clear from the beginning, Simmons going so far as to incoporate a timeskip in the story to make it "legal". Nevertheless a great read if you don't mind the anticlimatic ending, I loved the depiction of a society that has spread to different solar systems, the net as gigantic information superhighway that connects all of humanity was an interesting concept aswell. Are there any other Sci-Fi works that "realistically" depict humanity as a multi planetar species? Hard sci-fi preferably. Sorry for my bad writing, I'm sick with the flu and have a headache.
