really enjoying myself with this book even though it took a sec to get into. sad to learn that big tech tv (amazon prime) is working on a series where they will prob not do the story justice since the themes of this book so are refreshingly antithetical to the dogma of our big ai corporatocracy.
going to follow up with some noteworthy moments all from the same chapter that i would gladly reread a few times

“the Culture saw itself as being a self-consciously rational society; and machines, even sentient ones, were more capable of achieving this desired state&more efficient at using it once they had…Besides, it left the humans…free to take care of the things that really mattered in life, such as sport, games, romance, studying dead languages, barbarian societies and impossible problems, and climbing high mountains
