    Iain M. Banks: we’re living in an AI-regulated Utopia, but the AI that we totally trust might be doing some light imperialism on the side.

        The Culture is so incredibly fascinating. Banks’ death was a loss to science fiction.

      The Culture weren’t actually the future of humanity though right? Non-canon stuff has indicated we join eventually in the future but the society formed independent of us and even visit and examine us in one.

        Actually, you’re right.

        Oh well, a humanity, then, just not ours.
