I’d like to Consider Phlebas adapted as well but I think it’s be tricky. A lot of Culture fans don’t like it because the main character is scum and about 1/4 of the way through the book you start realizing that the antagonist machine empire he’s fighting (the culture) are actually the good guys. I think that makes it great, though.
- gerikson 5y agoIf readers believe Bora Horza Gobuchul is "scum" they haven't read the book very well. Next I'll be reading that Cheradenine Zakalwe in "Use of Weapons" is a good guy. I don't want to go full Rick-and-Morty copypasta, but Banks' SF is a bit more mature and complex than most others. If you've only read US writers you might miss a lot.
