“From New York Times bestselling and modern master of science fiction, Iain M. Banks, The State of the Art is the acclaimed collection of Banks’s short fiction.
“Banks is a phenomenon…writing pure science fiction of a peculiarly gnarly energy and elegance.” –William Gibson
This is a striking addition to the body of Culture lore, and adds definition and scale to the previous works by using the Earth of 1977 as contrast. The stories in the collection range from science fiction to horror, dark-coated fantasy to morality tale. All bear the indefinable stamp of Iain Banks’s staggering talent.
“Few of us have been exposed to a talent so manifest and of such extraordinary breadth.” –New York Review of Science Fiction
“[Banks] can summon up sense-of-wonder Big Concepts you’ve never seen before and display them with narration as deft as a conjuror’s fingers.” –scifi.com”
