"A Culture novel"--Cover.
In the human-machine symbiotic society called The Culture, there have been many great game players. One, Gurgeh, is a master of every board, computer, and strategy. He travels to the Empire of Azad to try its game, one so complex and like life itself, that the winner becomes emperor. With this game, he takes on the challenge of his life, and possibly his death.

Iain M. Banks Does it Again! submitted by j.carbon06 on June 15, 2012, 10:10am An awesome science fiction book. This is probably my favorite Culture book, because it has a great plot and it is impossible to put down once you start it.
