Banks' Culture novels.

Not what I thought it was
Much more fantasy than SciFi, and mostly lame stories about fairies. Just not my thing.

Sadly lacking in science fiction
The majority of stories are mostly fantasy and magic complete with rustic yokels. Don't bother if you are after a science fiction fix as there is really nothing here to recommend this anthology which is a shame.
