I love his Culture stuff, and I don't normally like SF with forcefeilds and such, but he just does it so damned well. I love Matter to death, Use of Weapons is my favourite to date though.

Use of weapons has crawled its way into my favourite top 20 or so of science fiction novels I have read the last30 odd years.
