I've read two of Banks's Culture novels, and "disappointing and cynical" sums up how I felt after finishing each of them. It seems as if his characterization of the transhuman Minds consists entirely of their making snarky comments, and as if everything his human-level characters do is ultimately futile. I don't understand the appeal.
