A propos de cet article

A set of first edition, first printings, published by Macmillan London Limited / Orbit between 1987 and 2012. Complete set of the Scottish author's ten-volume Culture series. All books are in near fine to fine condition in their original dust wrappers. Aside from volumes 4, 6, 9 and 10 are inscribed. Exceptionally scarce set signed. The Culture series by Iain M. Banks is a thought-provoking collection of science fiction novels set in a utopian, post-scarcity interstellar society known as the Culture. In this advanced civilisation, humans, artificial intelligences (AIs), and various species coexist peacefully, with technology providing abundance and near-immortality. The Culture is governed by benevolent AI Minds, and its citizens enjoy vast freedoms, often choosing their own lifestyles without fear of poverty, illness, or war. However, the series often explores the darker complexities of such an ideal society when it encounters other civilisations that are less advanced or more oppressive. Themes of morality, politics, war, and the limits of intervention are central to the novels, as the Culture frequently grapples with its role in shaping the fates of others.
