I love it... and would recommend it to anybody. I just don't consider it Space Opera. Which is probably why it's not mentioned more often in this thread.
Labels and sub-genre definitions vary, naturally, from person to person... but I would classify Hyperion as
Hard Sci-Fi -- and absolutely fantastic!
