I really enjoy his books and the interesting universe he creates. Especially the A.I's sardonic take on life. I love the tech ideas his universe is filled with such as the ability to self-gland any drug required for a situation. Its not your normal crash,bang,wallop type of stories and they are actually character driven. Still saying that when one of the ships/minds needs to take action, I'd not want to be around to be on the end of it.
I've just recently finished reading Surface Detail and the abominator-class " Falling Outside The Normal Moral Constraints" is fantastic as is the ships avatar Demeisen. I find the names carry plenty of gravitas.
I wonder what others think to the books/universe that Banks creates? Alas there will be no more books from him in the future but he still wrote probably the best book I have ever read... "use of weapons" with an ending so shocking the I wanted to through the book at the wall while cursing and shouting "no way!... no ******* way!!!" ..... It was that shocking.
Anyone else a fan of Banks's culture novels?
