Iain M Banks Culture Series 10 Books Collection Set (Consider Phlebas, The Player of Games, Use of Weapons, The State of the Art, Excession, Inversions, Look To Windward, Surface Detail & More)

Consider Phlebas by Ian Banks, which is part of the Culture series of novels. Very formative for me and I read that while I was writing Theme Park. And I still think it's the best depiction of a postAGI future, an optimistic postAGI future where we're traveling the stars and humanity sort of reached its full flourishing.

And then finally, I would recommend Consider Phlebas by Ian Banks, which is part of the Culture series of novels. Very formative for me and I read that while I was writing Theme Park. And I still think it's the best depiction of a postAGI future, an optimistic postAGI future where we're traveling the stars and humanity sort of reached its full flourishing.

I can recommend Ian Banks as an author, English author I think, you wrote a series of books on the... you called the Culture novels, and it was a world where there were humans and then there was AI, the smartest humans, and AI that were done more than humans, but there was some AI that were much, much smarter.

And they, they lived in harmony because they mostly all pursued what they wanted to pursue, humans pursued human goals and super smart AI pursued super smart AI goals, and you know, they, they communicated in the work with each other but... but they, they mostly, you know, they're different when they were different enough that that was problematic, their goals were different enough that they didn't overlap.

He's concerned that someone will consciously decide to create a bad AI and that his big concern, and this is actually my where my interest lies, is he understands he's developing neural lace right now, which originally came from Iain Banks' Culture series.

So he's actually making it so it's and I write about it in my next book It's a literal lace that lays between the membrane and your brain and it interconnects It creates a higher level of connectivity with the different parts of your brain
