Iain Banks (1954-2013) came to widespread and controversial public notice with the publication of his first novel, The Wasp Factory, in 1984. Consider Phlebas, his first science fiction novel, was published under the name Iain M. Banks in 1987 and began his celebrated ten-book Culture series. He is acclaimed as one of the most powerful, innovative and exciting writers of his generation.
Banks is a phenomenon: the wildly successful, fearlessly creative
author of brilliant and disturbing non-genre novels, he's equally
at home writing pure science fiction of a perculiarly gnarly energy
and elegance
*William Gibson*
There is now no British SF writer to whose work I look forward with
greater keenness
*THE TIMES*
Poetic, humourous, baffling, terrifying, sexy - the books of Iain
M. Banks are all these things and more
*NME*
