A review by grimboj
The State of the Art by Iain M. Banks

4.0

The first thing that I struggled with in this book is finding out what it is! After some research I concluded that it’s a collection of short stories set in the culture universe with one story taking up 60% of the book. Most of the short stories are a good read but the main story didn’t half drag and descend into a rant about modern society. Would recommend if entering with no expectations.
