When I think of the Culture series, I immediately think of the descriptions of incredibly vast spacecraft, the General Systems Vehicles and whatnot. Even listening via audiobook, my imagination was able to conjure a fragment of the sensation that one gets when perceiving something with incredible scale. Similar to the sensation I got when I first gazed upon the Rocky Mountains. I'm happy that the series is getting more exposure, but at the risk of seeming curmudgeonly, the series will remain on my "watch only after reading the books" list.
