      I know, I'm very heterodox. The series is almost universally held up as the example par excelence of fully automated luxury space communism with enlightened humanist characteristics.

      Which is exactly my problem with it. Although I love the series as a read, the things most people take away from it give me the creeps.

      most people give me the creeps. Banks was particularly clear about the moral ambiguity and grey areas though. I mean, one of his most memorable Minds is named "Grey Area" (aka Meatfucker)

      I'm not sure that's true, tbh. As I recall the 'Gray Area' is looked down upon by other Minds, and I think most people would see this as further proof that the Culture was enlightened and wise, though some of it's members (even Minds) weren't, and were thus ostracised.

      Grey Area is the one who understood that the Minds in the ITG were high on their own righteousness, and he was the only one with the courage to actually engage directly with the anomaly that was causing the whole situation in the first place

      Sleeper Service was written off as an eccentric but had taken up a sacred duty of safely shepherding the ones who had decided "this heaven gives me migraine" and wanted to sleep it offhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vPonjXOfYo …

      it's a remarkable corpus of work that fully explores its own contradictions and intricacies, and in my analysis, comes down on the side of the outsider, the outcast, the eccentric

      You make a persuasive case, but I put it to you that, with sufficiently creative reading, one can say the same thing about, say, "The Clangers."

      oh, wow, you are missing out! It's a tv series about a civilization of creatures knitted from wool who live on the moon under the protection of... I think they're dustbin lids that they use to cover craters to create a living space.

          It was. I guess it's due for a hollywood reboot at some point.

          I'm sure that it's an extended metaphor for the necessity of brutality under the reign of Queen Victoria and the role past sins had in liberalizing England in the second half of the 20th century
