The Culture of The Culture by Joseph S Norman
The Culture of The Culture defines Banks's creation as culture: autopian way of doing, of being, of seeing: an approach, an attitude and alifestyle that has enabled, and is evolving alongside, utopia, rather than animage of a static end-state.
'[The Culture of "The Culture"] stands as an invaluable contribution to the study of Banks’s CULTURE series, in particular its relation to the space opera subgenre and the history of utopian thinking'

‘Norman provides a deep, thorough overview of the complex world of the Culture and the ways in which it both fulfills and belies our assumptions about a utopian society… optimism drives Banks’ work, and it goes far in explaining why the Culture sequence remains not only eminently and beautifully readable but an emotional necessity for this historical moment.’ Jeremy Brett, SFRA Review
Joseph Norman is Visiting Lecturer in English Literature and Creative Writing at Brunel University, London.
