One of the serial killers in Hannibal as well.

Highly underrated.
And I get why: it’s just totally and completely different but it was still enjoyable on merit.

I thought it was even better than the first series. There’s so many neat and unique concepts going on in that book. From the ultra-fast ship that decimates its passengers and then rebuilds them, to the concepts related to the philosophy of Pierre Tielhard DeChardin, it’s a wonderfully thought provoking series all around. The AI and their machinations in that series is the best AI storyline I’ve ever read.
