For those of you who don't know, Iain M. Banks is a Scottish science fiction writter. Many of his stories deal with a galaxy spanning civilization known as the Culture. In the Culture ships are run by sapient super computers called Minds. And they aren't given names rather the Minds get to choose their own names. These names are not normal English-type SciFi names like Daneel, or Revan. The names are Indian-type names, that's American Indian not Subcontinental Indians (think Kicking Bird, Sitting Bull, or Dances with Wolves). The Minds choose names that generally reflect a fundamental aspect of their personality, their philosophical outlook on life, or their occupation. Sometimes it's just a quirky in joke that they like. Some examples of my favorites from the books are: Nervous Energy No More Mr Nice Guy Trade Surplus Just Read The Instructions Little Rascal So Much For Subtlety Youthful Indiscretion Gunboat Diplomat Kiss My Ass Size Isn't Everything It's Character Forming Unacceptable Behaviour What Is The Answer and Why? Serious Callers Only I Blame My Mother Arbitrary Cantankerous It'll Be Over By Christmas Helpless In The Face Of Your Beauty You'll Thank Me Later All Through With This Niceness And Negotiation Stuff Someone Else's Problem Zero Credibility Lapsed Pacifist My question to you is: What is your Culture Mind name? I'd say mine is Poke it with a Stick. |
