*Iain* Banks!!! or Iain M. Banks. http://www.iainbanks.net/ His shit is phenomenal, with or without the middle initial. Start with The Wasp Factory, before moving on to the ~thick~ stuff: 'The Culture' books. Those books take cyberpunk concepts and casually use them for tapestry, whilst mind-fucking away with head-bending subtexts. Banks is incredible and he's consistent. 'Complicity' is quite chilling: that's one of the non-middle initial works, which are usually not sf, though some may be seen as 'fantasy'. Get Iain M. Banks' shit right now!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.iainbanks.net/ seek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
