Set outside the Culture Universe. Nominated for the Hugo. Iain M. Banks (1954-2013) was one of recent history's finest writers of fiction, managing to write consistently well under two names, one in the literary fiction circle, the other in sf. He's best remembered for his series of space operas set in the post-scarcity Culture universe. [11431, Hyraxia Books].
