I never felt they took place in the same universe, but I agree that both are wonderful. For a different take on a far future Earth, try _The Long Afternoon of Earth_, by Brian Aldiss. It's far enough in the future that the moon has slowed in its rotation around Earth so that it's always in the same relative position, and giant spiders have spun webs connecting moon and Earth...

Yes, Wolfe is my all-time favorite author. Not exactly light reading, but if one can stick it out, he has a great way with words.
Hmm, Aldiss writing about giant spiders on a future earth?! I'm so there! That gets moved up ahead of the Pern novels. Thanks for the heads up!
