It's the list that is to Iain Banks what Brin-L is to David Brin. It can, at times, be just as serious as Brin-L, but the balance is skewed much more towards goofing around. It's as likely to be planning how to rob Fort Knox using SmartMice and Zeppesloths (don't even ask...) as it is to be having Grand Moral Debates. Or: the Culture is an post-scarcity, space-based, libertarian/communist civilisation that's hedonistic and ruthless in almost equal measures, and one of the most interesting Involved societies to have arisen in the last few decamillennia.
