When sex slave Lededje Y'breq is murdered by a politician on the planet Sichult, the artificial intelligence running one of the Culture's immense starships resurrects her so she can seek revenge. Meanwhile, the Culture is uneasily watching the conflict over whether to preserve virtual Hells for the souls of "sinners" or give them the release of death.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Another Amazing Culture Novel submitted by j.carbon06 on June 18, 2013, 11:43am As with all of Iain Bank's Culture books, Surface Detail has a complicated but gripping plot, fascinating characters, and incredibly interesting ideas and speculation. I really loved the way there were multiple characters doing different things who all eventually came together in a brilliantly unexpected way. Both very fun and thought provoking to read.
