I did not know, and who would have thought, that hard-nosed businessman Elon Musk is a fan of Iain M. Banks', "The Culture"!
That he has named his, so-far three, drone landingships,
"Just Read The Instructions"
"Of Course I still Love You"
and
"A Shortfall of Gravitas", all names of AI Minds that run Culture spaceships in the books, is IMHO an enormous compliment to Banks, who as a lover of the dram and the craic, would have enjoyed it very much!
