Iain Banks' The Wasp Factory is NOT the kind of book I like to read, but the man can't half tell a story. The denouement waits for the final pages, and is jaw-dropping; the only doubt left in the reader's mind is the plausibility, as the story is so strange.

It seems that Elon is talking more about #IainBanks in interviews lately. Is he doing a reread? Is he getting to the parts where people with power do actually intervene to help people out instead of just talking?

A white male hand holding up a copy of 'The Wasp Factory' by Iain Banks in a messy office.
Forty years late, I've finally read Iain Banks's 'The Wasp factory'—turns out to be as good or better than anything he wrote later. Just wow (but bring your puke bag).

Und hier noch ein paar Cover aus der Publikationshistorie. Interessant, dass so ein Klassiker kein klar vorherrschendes Motiv hat. Das war bei Foundation & Co. anders. #bedenkephlebas #iainbanks

30 years ago my friend Mark Wilson drew a comic strip for a fanzine that another friend - Kev Bowyer - and I were behind. It contained his vision of some scenes from the life of the wonderful Iain Banks.
Turns out he loved them. #IainBanks #IainMBanks

J'ai emprunté L'Homme des jeux de Iain M. Banks à la bibliothèque tout à l'heure, mais je me rends compte que c'est un tome 2.
Est ce que vous me confirmez que je peux me lancer sans avoir lu Une Forme de guerre ?
S'il-vous-plaît, merci ! 😁

Finally finished Iain Banks' "Look to Windward," it was... Banks. Not ENTIRELY Banks because there were at the end one or two people left alive. But still Banks. #books #sciencefiction #scifi #IainBanks #spaceopera #reading

'The background to the war [is] years of ruthless oppression, cultural imperialism, economic exploitation, systematic torture, sexual tyranny and the cult of greed'
Iain Banks, "Look to Windward," 2000.
Not sure why that comment caught my attention just now...

I haven’t read his last book yet. It’s about some-one with a terminal cancer diagnosis, and came out as my dad died of cancer. Maybe in another decade or so.

Iain Banks book The Wasp Factory on a table with in the red records sticker/bookmark
Over 30 years since I first read this. Such an incredible book and such a loss to not have him around anymore.

Right ideologues, which includes billionaires, seem to have poor media literacy. Though in the case of “Torment Nexus” builders, I suspect it’s not unintentional.
