Mr Banks has had a busy publication week for Surface Detail – and he’s not going to be relaxing any time soon! He spent last week being interviewed by all sorts of national and regional press - appropriately including the New Scientist and BBC TV filming him at the Science Museum.
Iain’s first event on the eve of publication at the Round House was a sell out, and he answered the audience’s questions for nearly 2 hours! Then on Thursday he signed for a great crowd at Forbidden Planet.
If you haven’t managed to attend any of the events so far, Forbidden Planet, Blackwells in London and Foyles all have signed first editions of Surface Detail (though probably not for long!) Read the rest of this entry »

Mr Iain M. Banks is stopping by the Orbit London offices this week, so if you have any questions email them our way today at publisher@iainbanks.net, or tweet them at @orbitbooks with #askBanks.
We’ll be posting a video response to some of your questions later in the week.

BBC Radio is currently running Sci-Fi Season on Radio 3, Radio 4 and Radio 7, a worthy endeavour of which we heartily approve! What’s more, we’re delighted to inform you that if you happen to be near one of those new-fangled wirelesses this Thursday at 2:15pm, you can listen to an adaptation of the wonderful Culture story The State of the Art by Iain M. Banks, starring, among others, Sir Antony Sher.
And in the unlikely event that you need an even bigger incentive, The State of the Art has been adapted for radio by Paul Cornell, who some of you may know from the adventures of a certain Time Lord, so on Thursday 5th March at 2:15pm, we trust you’ll all be tuning your dials to Radio 4.
