Review title: Banks falls way short of his own high standards
Product review: If you fancy reading a book full of conversations between computers which are written half in English and half in some meaningless gibberish concocted by the author after spending the night with a bottle of Scotch, then this is the book for you. Tedious, unfocussed, all-over-the place rubbish. Scarcely believeable that it was written by the same pen as the beautiful "Consider Phlebas" or even the highly effective "Player of Games". A big letdown.
