@bruces Plausible near future SciFi. Like all great SciFi the book uses technology and visions of futuristic society as a means of exploring the deeper questions of what it is to be human. Here the tensions between the philosophies of the young and the old; Disruption and status quo.

Some great Aliens and hints of ancient mysteries. The planet is like a massive nested Mos Eisley bar with Alien cultures rubbing cheeks and creating friction. To my mind a bit long and rambly. Still it's a Banks Culture novel, and Banks on a bad day is the better than most of the competition at the top of their game.

Diabolical Luseferous! The torture scenes still bother me to this day, squatting in the back of my mind like malevolant toads. A galaxy violent and desperate but without the steady cynical hand's of the Minds to guide it.

@DavidBrin - Great concepts, alien environments and hard science. Perhaps lacking a bit of gritty realism at times.
