An Impressive Work of Scope, and Gravitas I think what we all really love about Iain M Banks is his ability to come up with an idea, and then to not only run with it, but to travel at light speed with it to the furthest edge of the galaxy of our imagination... and sometimes one step further. His ideas aren't merely creative and individual, they are unique because of the depth to which he explores them. Sure, people have created super-powerful futuristic space exploring societies before, but Banks has put much more thought into how such a society would develop, and the quirks it would have, and the repercussions of its power and technology. It is his attention to detail that makes the Culture so interesting and expansive. People have created AIs before, and even put them in ships, but Banks has actually given them a personality that is not, and never has been, truly human. How would something act that had come into being, fully developed, as war ship with capabilities a mere biological could never understand? How does such a being define itself? And we all know that our favorite detail of the Minds is the names they choose, unlimited by convention or character count. Authors have certainly explored virtual reality before. They've played games with it, they've gotten lost in it, they've even dipped their toe in the vast ocean of implications that comes with true VR. With Surface Detail, Banks went scuba diving. What are the consequences of post-biological existence in near-limitless virtual realities that are managed by any society with enough cash to create an Afterlife? What if wars no longer needed to be fought in "the Real" and soldiers could be rebirthed at the will of their commanders, remembering everything they learned from all their previous "deaths?" And what happens when the pan-human galaxy is faced with a group of societies who truly believe hells need to exist to keep the living in line? (view spoiler) While this may not be my favorite novel by Iain M Banks, it was still an incredible piece of science fiction, and leaves the average modern space-travel novel behind in a trail of 4D space dust.
