"Hay que tener algo que merezca la pena decir y luego la capacidad de decirlo: escribir es una doble habilidad, en realidad". Iain Banks. Dos en uno. Ambos geniales. Cuando usaba la inicial de su segundo nombre, "M", escribía ciencia ficción. #Efemeride #IainBanks #literatura

Il #16febbraio 1954 nasceva #IainBanks, scrittore scozzese di fantascienza e fantasy. L'autore più importante emerso negli anni '80 nella fantascienza britannica, tanto che il Times lo ha nominato nella lista dei 50 maggiori scrittori britannici dal 1945. E' morto a 59 anni.

🛸 Iain Banks knew how to weave a tale that digs into the underbelly of society! His sci-fi worlds are a wild ride through layers of morality and deception. Perfect for exploring those complex themes that keep us questioning. 🤔📚 #SciFiThoughts #IainBanks


#IainBanks #TheCulture #Kabuki Out there, way out there. Yet not that far.


It's funny that Musk claims to be an Iain Banks fan. Banks would despise Musk. He understood absolutely zero about Banks books and The Culture. #iainbanks #theculture #iainmbanks

Came across this on my bookshelves today. Copy of Complicity signed by Iain Banks. I was first mesmerised by ’The Wasp Factory’ in 1984. Met up with Iain in an Edinburgh pub in 1988. He liked pubs and writing. Sadly missed. #IainBanks #TheWaspFactory #WalkingOnGlass #TheCrowRoad
