The glaciers that slid down from the north thousands of years ago moved faster than the plot of this book. Tons of needless detail. Unnecessary and boring plot diversions. Eventually, I couldn't care less that a multi ton crystal mind could handle upper level math to the umpteenth decimal point. Needless graphic images. We get it. The organics are a bunch of pervs. Too many characters to easily keep track of. Muddled plot line. Reached the point where I couldn't care less about the mind trapped in a cave somewhere in outer space and the characters trying to locate said mind tossed the book aside. Waste of money. Waste of time. Waste of energy to even turn the pages. Other than these few things, a great read.

Any SF book by Banks is in the top of the top category of this genre. I’m always surprised by his monumentally expansive creativity.
