27. Banks, Iain Recension av Excession , en av f¶rfattarens b¶cker. http://www.aleph.se/Projekt/Texter/Kulturen.html

STHF Projekt Texter Rescension av Ian Banks "Excession" av Anders Sandberg Iain Banks är en tämligen unik författare, som både skriver kritikerrosade "normala" romaner och episk science fiction av hög kvalitet. Det universum han beskriver i de senare har en del intresse för transhumanister förutom de djuplodande och intressanta personskildringarna, den svarta humorn och de grandiosa skildringarna av galaxen. Men de flesta andra civilisationer har fortfarande problem, krig, svält och smärta, och Kulturen försöker naturligtvis hjälpa till - något som har beskrivits som "en elefant som försöker vara tandläkare åt en mus". Eftersom direkta ingripanden inte fungerar speciellt väl använder de delar av Kulturen som kontaktar andra civilisationer mer subtila metoder, ofta i etiska gråzoner. Det är här som de flesta av Banks Kultur-romaner utspelar sig. I "Use of Weapons" beskrivs en agent för Kulturen som är expert på att vinna krig och konflikter: han placeras i en situation och skall vinna åt den sida som Kulturen tror kommer att ha bäst effekter på lång sikt. I "Player of Games" manövreras en spelare att besöka ett dekadent och hotfullt imperium för att spela det spel som utgör kärnan i dess samhälle. "Excession" handlar dock inte direkt om dessa personliga kontakter, utan snarare om Kulturens ryggrad skeppen och deras liv. En tingest från ett annat universum har plötsligt dykt upp (det finns en fläkt från Peter Nilssonsn "Rymdväktaren" i beskrivningarna av det mystiska objektet), och skeppen försöker avgöra hur man ska hantera situationen. Tinget kan vara oerhört farligt - eller vänligt inställt; det rymmer en hemlighet som kan få en oerhörd betydelse.

Iain Banks / Iain M. Banks Iain Banks - fiction The Business This novel marks a return to the contemporary world.

These events take place in and around the castle where Abel and Morgan have spent much of their decadent lives and which is now at the whim of the Lietenant and his errant band of soldiers. With their lives turned upside down, we feel Abel's pain and anguish as he assesses his life and his future.

A Few Notes on the Culture by Iain M Banks [Html mark-up by Stefan Kruger] Firstly, and most importantly: the Culture doesn't really exist. It's only a story. It only exists in my mind and the minds of the people who've read about it. That having been made clear: The Culture is a group-civilisation formed from seven or eight humanoid species, space-living elements of which established a loose federation approximately nine thousand years ago. The ships and habitats which formed the original alliance required each others' support to pursue and maintain their independence from the political power structures - principally those of mature nation-states and autonomous commercial concerns - they had evolved from. The galaxy (our galaxy) in the Culture stories is a place long lived-in, and scattered with a variety of life-forms. In its vast and complicated history it has seen waves of empires, federations, colonisations, die-backs, wars, species-specific dark ages, renaissances, periods of mega-structure building and destruction, and whole ages of benign indifference and malign neglect. At the time of the Culture stories, there are perhaps a few dozen major space-faring civilisations, hundreds of minor ones, tens of thousands of species who might develop space-travel, and an uncountable number who have been there, done that, and have either gone into locatable but insular retreats to contemplate who-knows-what, or disappeared from the normal universe altogether to cultivate lives even less comprehensible.

PAID ADVERTISEMENTS Books by Iain Banks Books of the Month Search II/Amazon.com Customer Service ... Return to the mundane world Iain M. Banks Scottish Science Fiction Author Banks addresses the second of two arguments against the possibility of Artificial Intelligence: "...two, that self-awareness resides in a supernatural soul...which one assumes can never be scientifically understood (equally improbable, though I do write as an atheist)". from "A Few Notes on the Culture" posted on rec.arts.sf.written (August 1994) and reproduced in Critical Wave (UK Fanzine) and Alarums and Excursions #236 (April 1995). From a profile by Liam Fay entitled Depraved Heart: "I wanted to write about faith and the nature of belief," explains Iain Banks. "I find that fascinating, being an evangelical atheist myself. There was also the sheer fun of making up a new religion. I felt like L. Ron Hubbard. He did it for real, I know. But he started out being serious about it and then he eventually started saying things that were just so utterly absurd that he thought, 'Well, they can't possibly swallow this. It's so stupid'. There is considerable fun to be had devising a religion. I recommend it." Banks calls himself an "evangelical atheist". He talks of wanting "to proselytise about the badness of religion, and to say that faith is wrong, belief without reason and question is just evil".
