About the book

Banks's The Player of Games follows Jernau Morat Gurgeh, a brilliant games player living within the advanced civilisation known as the Culture. He is persuaded to travel to the Empire of Azad, where an enormously complex game determines political rank and power. What begins as a challenge becomes an examination of politics, culture and the ways games can reflect entire societies.
