CONSIDER PHLEBAS
Book ID/图书代码： 07980008B00187
English Summary/英文概要： The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender. Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it. It was the fate of Horza, the Changer, and his motley crew of unpredictable mercenaries, human and machine, actually to find it, and with it their own destruction. Consider Phlebas - a space opera of stunning power and awesome imagination.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 银河大战爆发了，数亿的人死去了，而有更多的人面临着巨大灾难。月亮，行星，恒星本身都面临着毫无人性﹑惨无人道﹑甚至是任意的摧毁。伊帝朗人民为信仰而战；文化为存在的道德权利而战。原则濒临崩溃，无人可生还。
在宇宙矛盾冲突中，个人参与战争。在荒芜世界的虚构迷宫深处，死亡星球禁止人类问津，诞生了多变的精神。文化与伊帝朗人都找到了文化精神。找到这种精神，是变形人—霍尔扎以及其不可预料的混有雇佣兵，人类和机器的队伍的命运任务。而精神的重获是与他们的消亡所相系的。(YM)

Banks are all these things and more’ NME
