 The State of the Art - Iain M. Banks
Newest Review: ... one of them dresses up like Captain Kirk from Star Trek. Later on a feast is prepared on board ship, consisting of the human ... more  ... flesh of General Pinochet, Idi Amin and Richard Nixon. Earth food indeed. This is a good introduction to Culture lore, especially for someone like me who was just curious about the 'other side' of Mr Banks. The characters are well-described and easy to identify with, and believable, which is important. Well worth a read. However, the other stories in the book did not impress me as much. They were obviously all written at different times in Banks' career, and first published separately. A brief descr...more |
