0G192: Consider Phlebas and Galactic Just War pt.3

Philosophers In Space

We survived, and yet like all Culture protagonists we've been fundamentally changed by the experience. Can we return to the safety and normalcy of other sci-fi after this? Will we eventually succumb to ennui and ask to be frozen in stasis until Banks is reincarnated and starts writing again? Guess we'll have to do another culture book to find out. In the meantime, here's a discussion of what happens when you try to just war theory at a scale that precludes the idea of mere survival as an objective.
