Review of "Matter"

by Roger on Mon 21st Dec 2009.

All the grand sweep that you expect from these books with some interesting ideas (Shellworlds) and crosslinks between the mundane savage emerging civilisations and the overarching galactic Culture with hints of things beyond even that. But at the end of the day these books have no respect for the human individuals in their cast of billions.
