I suspect the polyamorists would agree
TMW you realize your favorite novel is the same as @elonmusk's favorite novel. Granted, the dialogue is mostly FTL-emails between superintelligent spaceships, but the military strategizing and covert-ops politicking are still very cool.https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1012783785736167424 …

I rank Use of Weapons higher, but it's been a long time since I read them... Excession was still very cool.

Have you read The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin? It's an amazing trilogy (especially the 2nd, The Dark Forest), very different from the Culture but also exploring a lot of interesting themes. It handles things differently than most sci-fi/space opera books, in a chilling way.

Yes, I loved Liu Cixin. His novels actually inspired my most recent papers on the X-risks of active SETI: https://www.primalpoly.com/s/Todd-Millerevpsych-of-ETIBioTheory2017.pdf …

Not Banks' absolute best SF novel, imo. But what a great book.
