Ian M. banks doesn't know how to use a full stop. I love this book, but God some sentences are like 7 lines long, this is from the appendices in Consider Phlebas. I'm struggling to unpick what he refers to in the clause when he talks about 'giving the lie'? Any thoughts?4yr ⋅ wildwest41 ⋅ r/TheCulture
This dude started talking to me at a party about how I felt about shaping the development of less advanced societies through espionage and surveillance, none of which would be visible to the public. He was a bit opaque about which 'public' he was referring to though, so I declined. Nice guy though.9yr ⋅ m-las ⋅ r/TheCulture
Valerian aesthetic reminds me of the Culture. Crowded colorful streets where everyone has their own ornate style.7yr ⋅ zeekaran ⋅ r/TheCulture
I usually find Culture art somewhat underwhelming but this piece by Tom Long called 'Lightly Seared on the Reality Grill' seems to catch some of the intense insanity of those post-scarcity hedonists... though it probably isn't remotely accurate 'in-canon'.

Seems difficult to find CP with this cover. Are there any other editions besides 1996 Orbit with this cover?6yr ⋅ mkhrrs89 ⋅ r/TheCulture

The great man turned up on a question on cryptic quiz show Only Connect. You are shown 3 clues and have to guess what would come fourth. I got it after 2 clues, which is very rare for me.5yr ⋅ Melloid ⋅ r/TheCulture
How I picture the Culture warships - ugly hard things (as decsribed in one of the books - warships being ugly and utilitarian, due to Culture's dislike of having to own weapons). Would look like an ovoid with the fields up.5yr ⋅ noinoinoinoinoi ⋅ r/TheCulture

This is my collection of Culture books with a few of his other works. Missing from my shelf is Player of Games and Complicity. My favourite all time book is Player of Games. I lent it to a friend in 1998. Then in 2008 I got it back from him. He confessed to never reading it, so I lent it again..6yr ⋅ nancypeeherstockings ⋅ r/TheCulture

The only thing that bothers me about this cover is that I think a GCU wouldn't have purple mood lighting, otherwise it's the most book accurate cover I've seen9yr ⋅ grapp ⋅ r/TheCulture
