I haven't actually read the article yet, but it seems interesting for both Civ fans and Banks fans.  :)

The article mostly ponders on the what if meme, with links to Excession and CivI as background. At least, that's my take on it. :P

* Random quote

Of all the employments, working in the the brood pit was at once the most horrific and the most desirable. Horrific for what we saw occur day after day, and because of the very nature of the sessile native lifeforms. Desirable, because having been chosen to work in the pit, you were highly unlikely to be one of its victims.
~Captain Ulrik Svensgaard 'The Shadow Resonance'
