Too bad I discovered the guy only a few months after he died, which I found out after going through half of Culture. Suddenly the reading list became so finite, just when I was wondering where I can find more of his stuff.

Eventually had to discipline myself to re-read it only once every six years or so.

>As an aside, in the Hydrogen Sonata there is an android who is convinced that real life is actually a simulation, and refuses to accept otherwise until it encounters real life at the end of a fall down a lift shaft.

And robots with a sense of humor...
