the depiction of their language, which consists of simple gibberish, such as "Uga bugga bugga" in repetition I dunno, could be considered the forerunner of modern Chicago Ebonics and rap.

There are those here on FR that make a big show of not being able to tell the difference.

Dan Simmons,The Hyperion Cantos. I can say that after a lifetime of reading sci-fi that this series of books will really blow you away. Really can't speak highly enough of it.
He also has some other work that is top of the line also. Try his book called, The Terror. Fantastic.

Yeah, where did that ever come from, anyway? I think it was a 70’s or 80’s thing, and you were supposed to say SF, which does still have currency, I think.
It’s funny though, that these people with their minds expanded to such cosmic proportions should be so touchy on such a trivial point of semantics.
I think it was the Sci-Fi ( now SyFy ) channel which extinguished this movement by sheer inundation.

I’ve read some of his stuff. Ever read “project pope”? I think Doctor who writers have made reference to it in their concept of “The Church Of The Papal Mainframe”.

Oh yeah, him and Gene Wolfe are probably the top two for me.
BTW, dig your Freeper handle, mine’s from the CS Lewis space Trilogy. FR actually has a Dominic Flandry and a Phssthpok too.

I LOVED the Demolished Man, read it for the nth time last year.
I also liked The Unpleasant Profession of Mr Hoag...
There was also a series with two protagonists, a black woman and a white PI, who worked for time travelers and they ran the Mafia, firgot what it was called, but it was good.
