Damn, it seems that Iain Banks has terminal cancer and only months to live.

I suppose I can hope for a miracle. If ever a there were a case for an intervention by a GSV class via some medical nanobots, it would be now.

Too many good folk dying at present. But I guess that's always the case.

Well, damn. But I do have to say I admire how he's handling it.

Little things are significant when they mark the start of the future, the way a falling star leaves a strip of fire behind it; they have to be going fast enough to pierce through the present. So far we haven’t figured out where they get that speed. But we know a thing is right when it sets the present on fire, like a flint of the future.” -- Khlebnikov

Too soon to start proposing an epitaph, maybe, but there's my offering.
