I just finished a player of games a few months ago! Someone suggested the series to me here on lemmy (perhaps you? Lol. I never take note of screen names when I should), and I read Phlebas and APoG before I got distracted. It’s so good. Like ridiculously good. Phlebas wasn’t quite my speed, not bad by any stretch, I just found myself wishing for more of what there was little of and less of what there was much of, but APoG was fantastic and exactly what I was looking for!
Someone tell me there’s a Culture world like this just because Iain M Banks thought it’d be a fun challenge
Edit: I’m turning this into a Culture thread with a screenshot of me proselytizing it to my friends

I just started reading the player of games the other day. Love it!
It’s so much fun, I blazed through it on vacation. I wanna play!!!
