The Algebraist book cover
My favorite Banks so far; I'd go so far as to say one of my favorite sci-fi of all time (and I've read an awful lot of sci-fi in my day). I literally did read the entire thing, then turn back to page one and read it through again. A cynic might explain that this was because it was so long that I'd forgotten what happened at the start by the time time I'd reached the end; but I did enjoy this book immensely. The usual Banksian combination of wit (it had me laughing out loud on a few occasions), humanism, dark humor, philosophy, politics and hard sci-fi, but on an even more epic scale than usual. Thanks, Banks. read more.
