You might enjoy Neal Asher. AIs of near limitless power ruling over humanity with a mostly benevolent hand, and plenty of action and interesting ideas. It’s definitely a more conservative take on an AI dominated society than Banks, though.posted by Sternmeyer at 7:10 PM on September 9, 2013
You might try the anthologies The New Space Opera and especially The New Space Opera 2. Also, if you haven’t read Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion (I’m less fond of the other two sequels), I’d definitely recommend those. A Fire Upon the Deep may work too, especially if you liked the sort of Usenet like communications among Minds in Excession, etc. I think most of those are on point philosophically too.
The number 3 represents a trinity. It could be that relatives who have passed on to Heaven are visiting you (Trinity). The fact that they look familiar could be due to blood kinship and the remembrance of souls. You see, since we live in two different worlds, and there is no time and space in the spirit world, it may be most feasible for them to come at that time
But going further afield, politically, I’ll also suggest some of Neal Asher’s Polity books, especially The Skinner, because I think they’re obviously influenced by Banks and share some of his sense of wonder. Unfortunately, a number of them feel like sort of a "Michael Bay" take on the Culture, devolving into action shoot em ups with reactionary messaging.Guys!Only One Day for you!Free 100M OSRS Gold&750M RS3 Gold on RSorder will come as 2018 Biggest Promotion at 3:00 a.m. GMT Dec.7!Snap Immediately [url=http://www.rsorder.com][b]http://www.rsorder.com[/url][/b]
