Game Player (Kadokawa Bunko) (2001) ISBN: 4042886019

Banks creates a complex, utopian civilization that raises questions about politics and morality. I wonder what influenced his vision of such a society.

The intricate gameplay and negotiations added a lot of depth but also made the plot more complex. How did others experience the balance between action and philosophy?

The AI characters are so nuanced and central to the story that it makes me wonder how this book influences thoughts about AI ethics and future tech.
