Fair enough, in my opinion one of the strengths of this series is that The Culture are never portrayed too heavily as being 'the good guys'
but rather as being lazy, occasionally morally suspect hedonist drop-outs who have succumbed to the temptation of letting the computers do all the hard work - I don't see this as a particularly positive portrayal of a civilisation.

Anyhow, give Feersum Endjinn a go, then. It's excellent for entirely different reasons.
