A stunning new reissue edition of The State of the Art - a
collection of short stories of stunning power and awesome
imagination from Iain M. Banks, one of the most important and
influential writers in modern science fiction. The first ever
collection of Iain M. Banks's short fiction, this volume includes
the acclaimed novella, The State of the Art. This is a striking
addition to the growing body of Culture lore, and adds definition
and scale to the previous works by using the Earth of 1977 as
contrast. The other stories in the collection range from science
fiction to horror, dark-coated fantasy to morality tale. All bear
the indefinable stamp of Iain Banks's staggering talent. Praise for
the Culture series 'Epic in scope, ambitious in its ideas and
absorbing in its execution' Independent on Sunday 'Banks has
created one of the most enduring and endearing visions of the
future' Guardian 'Jam-packed with extraordinary invention' Scotsman
