Expect promptheads to dismiss this as being the ramblings of a "DEI hire" because they're confused by the dual use of "equity" in their title.

Yah Skaffen is the best drone, obvsly.

Thx for the reference to Soldier F, didn’t know about his case.

Obvsly you've read the novel more than I have considering your nick... I might have to give it another go.

OTOH I'd rather re-read the non-M novels first, especially Espedair Street.

What is it with Rats extolling The Player of Games above other Culture novels? It's the one HN likes best too. It's probably the only one I've not re-read. Maybe it's how the main character is kinda seduced by the parody of patriarchal capitalism in the culture he's coerced to infiltrate.

Personally I think Use of Weapons is the best one.

Is law considered part of the humanities because lawyers have been fucking things up in society since at least the French revolution.
