Synopsis:
Excession is a science fiction novel set in Iain M. Banks’s Culture universe. It follows the reaction of the Culture and rival interstellar civilizations to the appearance of an unprecedented alien artifact known as the Excession. As Special Circumstances operative Genar-Hofoen investigates amid political intrigue, manipulation by powerful AIs known as Minds, and interference from the brutal species called the Affront, the book explores competing agendas and the consequences of contact with something far beyond known capabilities.
