#and teenage me still lapped up all 384 pages of Ilium bc not enough scifi has robots obsessed with 1800s French lit in it

It's so fuckin weird seeing The Terror doing numbers on tumblr bc I just recently found out the author of the book it's based on is Dan Simmons, a guy I mostly know from the sci-fi paperweights Illium and Hyperion wherein he writes the POV of a classics professor who is SHOCKED to find man-on-man action in (an identical facsimile of) ancient Greece.
