Kookie reviewed The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks (Culture, part 2)
Excellent in building a mood
5 stars
The external exploration of a fascist empire from the point of view of a culture game player gives deep insights into the political philosophy of both, and the author himself. The ending leaves a sour taste in your mouth, with a lot of moral ambiguity on who was "right".
