We love Iain M. Banks’ books – and have reviewed nearly all of them over the years here on ShowMeSciFi – that’s why it was a real treat for us to discover that he recently participated in a Google Play hangout (webcast) along with Alastair Reynolds, and Peter F. Hamilton.

The content is solid – and lots of interesting discussion about that state of SciFi today
