Matter by Iain M. Banks

3.0

I picked this up having not read Iain M Banks in a long while. I enjoyed elements of it for sure, but really I struggled to care about either the characters, fantastical places or meta-narrative of galactic civilisations that underpins it. Either this is not Banks's best, or it's been so long that without noticing I've become someone who simply isn't tickled by his sci-fi. Perhaps I'll reread an old favourite like Player of Games to check.
