Just saw its name in some news article since the latest launch failed to land properly on SpaceX' drone "A Shortfall of Gravitas" which is basically a call to a bunch of Culture ships in the series with similar names.
Totally random, but I am guessing Elon is a fan or something. Good books btw.

Holy shit. I predict major drama from this.
For those not in the know: "The Culture" is essentially if reddit circa the 2000's was a galactic civilization

I always thought The Culture was supposed to be an allegory for America.

Never really thought about it as america or anything, more just a general "the greater good" type dealio. I mean it espouses progressivism/lefty-stuff, but with essentially magical amounts of power to solve the issues that come up because of it's policies. I think it was a pretty fair treatment of what it would take to make a society like that work.

Yeah I think they also have "Of Course I Still Love You" and "Just Read The Instructions" or something like that.
