‘Banks has created one of the most enduring and endearing visions of the future.’
  1. Guardian
Iain M. Banks’ first science-fiction novel introduces one of the most iconic creations in speculative literature: the Culture, a far future interstellar civilization populated by humans and sophisticated artificial intelligences. From Horza’s last-minute escape, that starts the book with a literal bang, to the space pirates, orbital stations, deadly games and vast icebergs that populate this epic space opera, Banks barely gives the reader a moment to catch their breath. With an imagination as vast as the Culture itself, Banks was one of the true innovators of the genre, and Consider Phlebas is an electrifying first step into a remarkable universe. For this special illustrated edition, artist Dániel Taylor has created a breath-taking collection of images capturing the exotic thrills of a modern science-fiction classic, including a special hidden illustration printed on the inside of the slipcase. The binding is blocked in blue and orange foils, with a field of burning stars continuing onto the exterior of the slipcase; a spectacular finishing touch on an unmissable collectors’ edition.

The Folio Society edition Consider Phlebas looks great and it's a pleasure to read in this beautiful hardback format. It encourages you to linger over the words and I'm picking up more detail in the text that I may have missed on previous readings. I'm hoping that the fact that this is the first book in the series (possibly not the best) is a strong hint that the entire Culture series is coming. I'll get them all! Knocking off one star as it does have a few typos including a failed attempt to correct a typo in the original text ("ariel" in original, "aeriel" here, presumably "aerial" intended).

Beautiful book; thoroughly pleased with it. Hoping that the Folio Society now publishes the rest of the Bank's Culture series in the years to come.

A glowing tribute to Iain M Banks with this production of the first Culture novel. Quality starts with the substantial slipcase and carries on right through the book
