À propos de ce contenu audio

The novels of Iain M. Banks have forever changed the face of modern science fiction. His Culture books combine breathtaking imagination with exceptional storytelling, and have secured his reputation as one of the most extraordinary and influential writers in the genre.

The "War in Heaven", a simulated war game, rages between civilisations. Its virtual battles have been fought for decades, and the victors will decide the fate of the digital Hells - torturous artificial afterlives with horrors beyond imagination.

In the Sichultian Enablement, Y'breq is one of the Intagliated, her marked body bearing witness to a family shame, her life belonging to a man whose lust for power is without limit.

As the virtual war threatens to spill into the Real, Y'breq is willing to risk everything for her freedom - but she'll need the Culture, and its help comes at a price. The Culture is going to war with death itself.

Commentaires

'Banks is a phenomenon' William Gibson

Le plus pertinent
Iain Banks is undoubtedly one of the best author I ever read, and Surface detail is the novel he wrote I love the most. I think that toward the end of his life, the Culture became something really full and totally consistent, and this novel encompass all of it in a brillant story. I mean that there is two pieces of art in one here : the novel, which is a treasure of writing, and the Culture's world. This world seems to have its own life, that somehow an author discovered it and told about it, but it is so whole that it seems to actually exist somewhere.
