It’s fiction like this that makes me wonder how wild sci-fi stories will be 50 years from now
Nice to see some more Culture attention. They're extremely rich books with fresh nuance in every read.
Losing Banks and Pratchett in the same year was a painful one.
Every book in the series is brilliant and enthralling. Ian Banks' death was a terrible loss.
8:40 "Drones are about as intelligent as people." I can imagine the fields of every drone dramatically changing colour in response to that understatement.
4:30 "50 *Trillion."
My favorite bit is still the awesome ship names. Being their own person and having access to massive databases of words & phrases leads to some incredibly funny names.
The culture is an eco system. You can show up and just announce you live here now and be apart of it as long as you don't purposely kill anyone, except for some special circumstances. People from the culture can have kids with many other humanoid species (Consider Phlebas), and that those species might not even share the same evolutionary ancestors as the culture (Use of weapons)
RIP Iain
I like to imagine the slap drones just literaly slap someone unconsious ✋
