Sorry to see you go, Iain

Posted on 2013 June 9 by njwFebruary 7, 2016

Iain (M.) Banks has passed away. I’m sad to see him go. His Culture novels are a great example of transhumanist SF, and they provide (through the Contact division, and especially its Special Circumstances group) a good example of what … Continue reading →
