When you start skipping endless and pointless dialog between multitude of characters you cant't remember, you know this is not for you. There is only one brilliant story from Iain Banks. Quote Grok: The Iain M. Banks novel that features a space suit carrying a dead human is "The State of the Art". Specifically, the short story within this collection is titled "Descendant." In this story, a Culture soldier and his sentient space suit struggle to survive after being shot down and crash-landing on a barren planet.
