Review of 'Look to Windward' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

Another excellent Culture novel, as usual it has a philosophical and political background, exploring the clash between cultures that revel in war and those that choose peace but are prepared to fight if need be but are often able to avoid it. The Culture Minds ― machine minds thousands of times more powerful than humans ― offer a perspective on human weakness no matter how well-intentioned.

While remaining a fast-moving, interesting story.
