It's Banks himself saying that, not me. Legolas Send a noteboard - 02/09/2010 11:22:47 PM
because your review reminded me of Asimov's Foundation novels in the emphasis on the individual within (trapped by?) larger movements of history.

I think he's more thinking of Heinlein and other authors with somewhat right-wing ideas. But since I didn't really go into the details of his political views in the review, I can see why it'd be confusing for me to mention the comparison.

It is strange that you should say it is a reaction to the American sci-fi of the 70s Camilla - 02/09/2010 11:11:17 PM 1453 Views
