And I'd say that they're only anarcho-communists in name. Really, they're ant farms, kept by the Minds.
- psb217 11y agoThe minds are the Culture and the minds are anarcho-communists (at least as far as I can tell).
- Kalium 11y agoEh... I'm not sure notions of government work at that level. The Minds don't need to work together in any way. They're each perfectly fine on their own.

People seem to get really butthurt about this, but it is actually series canon that much more thoroughly "posthuman" lifestyles were "in-fashion" at some previously point, and will be again, at some future point. The author was just focusing on the period of time that happened to be easiest to understand for his readership. And there are always those who make Unusual Life Choices. Oy.
