Mr. Banks left a huge void. It was through Surface Detail that I started reading science fiction again after fifteen years. Somehow I had managed to avoid the Culture and British science fiction during the nineties. Iain's Culture novels eclipse practically all American science fiction I read in my youth.
Last week, I ordered some Alastair Reynolds novels to attempt to fill that void.
RIP Iain M. Banks.
What Reynolds have you ordered?
"Just have fun"
The Revelation Space trilogy and the first novel from his current trilogy, Blue Remembered Earth.
Revelation Space itself was pretty good, I also enjoyed House of Suns
"Just have fun"
It's been two years already since his terminal cancer had been diagnosed.
'Poverty is not an injustice. There is no such thing as causes for poverty, only causes for wealth. Poverty is not a wrong, but taking money from those who have it to equalize incomes is basically theft, which is wrong.' - Typical Randroid
