#4: Transition (Iain M. Banks)

This book was slow to start, and then — almost 1/2 of the way through — clicked, and I sped to the conclusion. I don’t think I’ve seen Banks as overtly political as this before; the book is definitely a reaction to post-9/11 excesses. Apparently published in the UK without the M, though I’m not sure how that was justified; The Bridge, yeah, but this one?
