Reading this book on Iain M. Banks and Culture novels. Banks appears to have been seriously gonzo. Heavy drinker, speed demon (multiple car crashes), urban explorer (liked to climb infrastructure), liked blowing things up as a kid. No wonder Elon vibes. amazon.com/Culture-Iain-B

Though in interviews he came over as incredibly nice, and Raw Spirit is just a great travel book.
Am I going to be disappointed in him if I read this?!

It’s not a biography. It’s about the culture. He seems nice. Just gonzo as well.

Wonderful - that will give me something that's different for a change. Though it's now been so long since I read the Culture books (I started reading his books in the mid 1980s!) that I may have to do a refresher course.
