Man their past few albums, each is better than the last. This one is just an astonishing blend of brutality and complexity. Just banger after banger. Plus, as usual the political messages are very welcome.
Recommended track: "We Eat Our Young"
Highlighted feature: Travis' vox. Man he has so much range. The melodic highs, the growls, the screams. Fucken rippa -

It's not so much a series as a shared world, and so kind of hard to summarise what it's about. The quality and complexity of the writing and structure and narrative is a real step above most of the stuff in this genre. Keywords: rich world building, politics, philosophy, social commentary, queer, neologisms, post modernism, strong AI.
The author also has a number of non sci-fi works that are worth checking out, under the name Iain Banks

One of my fav scifi books. Kind of a funny experience starting with the games, discovering they were inspired by a movie. And then discovering the movie was inspired by a book.
Can also recommend "The Doomed City", also by the Strugatsky bros. Haven't had the chance to read any of their other work though.
