    According to StoryGraph that one is #7 in the “Culture” series. How tightly are the books integrated, do you need to read them in order? Would you recommend starting at #1?

      Each story is standalone, and you could read any first but LTW does broadly reference events from early books.

      A good starting point is Player of Games, which was my first. Solely because that it was the first one a friend gave me to read.

      I read Consider Phlebas next and was hooked. Either is a good starting point. From there published order works.
