Banks is an interesting case. Many readers who do not agree with his philosophy nevertheless love his writing (including myself).
-
I think he doesn't have a "philosophy", he describes a possible credible universe given certain technological development. The books very very rarely give value statements in ways that seem normative.

Education in both Darwin and Derrida [synecdoches] is helpful to understand today’s intelligentsia.

Better keep the Derrida episode confidential. And I am dumbfounded by the idea that you bought Darwin's Power of Movement in Plants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_Movement_in_Plants … But I suppose, when you compare it to Derrida, its pretty exciting.
