So far as I can tell, Consider Phlebas is a bit of the black sheep in the Culture series.
However, despite my dubious motivations – once I was inside Phlebas I found a book that had a lot to talk about. Despite the fact that the Culture series could probably be read out of order, I have a weird need to adhere to publication order when reading. If I am being completely honest, my main drive to read Consider Phlebas was to get through it so I could read the second book in the series, Player of Games, which I have constantly been recommended. Ten books following a benevolent super race that sends agents to tinker and manipulate other fledgling starfaring people into following their way of life. For me, one of the big ones is Banks’ beloved Culture series. Everyone has a number of classics that they mean to get around to reading. We have been talking about a lot of great new releases recently, so let’s take a step back and talk about a classic I just got around to reading: Consider Phlebas, by Iain Banks.
