Iain Banks
Use of Weapons, it’s about Iain Banks’s utopian Culture, and how it deals with autocrats and a freelance mercenary named Zakalwe who doesn’t like how the Culture deals with autocrats, so he takes matters into his own hands.
This is a decent novel but not one of my favorites from Iain Banks. It doesn’t stick the landing IMO.
The ultimate gamer Gurgeh is tired of his life in a post-scarcity society because he’s played every game there is and nothing and no one can put up a challenge. He’s given an opportunity to spice up his life, he takes it. Hijinks ensue.
