If you must know, I am a utopian anarchist of the kind best described by Iain Banks

[Favorite novel is] possibly Excession, but I’d recommend reading Player of Games & Surface Detail first. They’re all great.

I love Banks. Best books in recent years imo are Iain Banks & George Martin.

Reading The Culture series by Banks. Compelling picture of a grand, semi-utopian galactic future. Hopefully not too optimistic about AI.
