But mobile phones start ringing and they’re told to turn on a TV, because a plane has just crashed into the World Trade Centre… At ease with the volatility of modernity, Iain Banks is also our most accomplished literary writer of narrative-driven adventure stories that never ignore the injustices and moral conundrums of the real world.
