ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks is a science fiction novel set against the backdrop of the Idiran-Culture war. The story follows Bora Horza Gobuchul, a Changer working for the Idirans, on a mission to retrieve a powerful Culture Mind. Horza, a complex character with a troubled past, is forced to navigate a dangerous world while questioning his loyalties. He gathers a crew of mercenaries to achieve his goal while also facing opposition from the Culture. The novel explores themes of war, identity, loyalty, and the clash between civilizations, and it delves into the moral ambiguities of both sides in the conflict. The narrative is full of action, intrigue and unexpected twists, keeping readers engaged while also making them think about broader philosophical concepts.
