The Culture series or Culture cycle refers to a series of novels and short
fiction written by Scottish author Iain Banks. The stories center around
the Culture, a post-scarcity semi-anarchist utopia consisting of various
humanoid races and managed by very advanced artificial intelligences.
Their main theme is the dilemmas that an idealistic hyperpower faces in
dealing with civilisations that do not share its ideals and whose behaviour
it sometimes finds repulsive. In some of the stories action takes place
mainly in non-Culture environments, and the leading characters are often on
the fringes of, or non-members of, the Culture, usually acting as agents
of Culture plans to civilise the galaxy.
