Indeed, he was a very inventive author. Hope you get as much pleasure from his works as I did.

They think they're parking Labour's tanks on Reform's lawn, when they're actually parking Reform's tanks on Labour's.
It's difficult to see how supposedly intelligent people can be so stupid, unless they really want Reform to win

As a 16 yo, Eon blew my mind. I reread them recently and was pleased that they hadn't dated badly, despite the fact that the story starts in a near future 1999 and the USSR is still a thing. You'd think that would date it, yeah? Read on.

Don't think I've read that yet so thank you for the recommendation.
Have you read much Greg Bear? Eon and Eternity are possibly my two most favourite scifi novels.

Banks was awesome. Still feel sad that I'll never read another new Culture novel.
Rajaniemi is great too. His trilogy was the last time I read a new scifi author and didn't find it overly derivative.

For most of my adult life I've been a big fan of Ian Banks scifi output and I imagine a Banksian Culture Mind would be in fits of giggles at us calling LLMs AI.
