As a #nerd, I fucking hate what the #tech #oligarchs have done to #nerdy culture. They pilfered our future, repackaged it, and sold it back to us, and wrapped it all in lies. Oh, and #fascism. They ruined #nerdculture. #Sci-fi, #fantasy, #comic, nerds, we need to take it back. The future is ours, not theirs. #palantir #lotr #cultureseries #techbros #sciencefiction #dnd #musk

@evoterra @theculture @bookstodon It is an excellent book but one of my less favourite of Banks. SPOILERS: https://rdmp.org/dale-mellor/bookblog/?review=the-player-of-games

Immersed in the #CultureSeries for 25+ years, I always thought it was our distant future. I was mistaken. It's a universe beyond our own, a vivid tapestry of possibilities. 📚✨ #MindBlown #SciFiJourney

Only a few tens of pages in, I realize what I hoped would be a bonus: That the first book will allow me new points of thoughts about what is going on in our own world at the moment.

I really enjoy books that gives me more than just an entertaining story.

In particular when it also help me think about problems I'm working on, including current events, in new ways.

Time to begin the reading journey into the #CultureSeries.

@peston "Elon Musk says his favourite books are the culture series by Scotland’s Iain Banks" - weird because Banks' views were pretty much the opposite of Musk's.
