    With the obligatory squick chapter in each book (guy eats his own hand, makes a chair out of his half-sister, etc.) and drug fascination I imagine it'd be suitably hip and dark for the kids these days.

    I wish they'd make a TV series or movies or something out of the Jack McDevitt "Priscilla Hutchins" books. Those were great.

    I'd imagine the anarchy is too much for kids these days who are too busy obeying authority, volunteering for military service, torturing terrorists, and finger-raping grandma at the airport. Kids don't get side hustle gigs and five-star ratings from their peers by being anarchists.

    Let's not forget Iain M Banks is a dead old man from a past era.

    We don't have the same kind of economic prosperity which we had when El Bonko began writing. Risk is risky and kids can't afford to risk disobeying authority, because obedience is money.
