MacLeod has shown a fine sense of how to blend political philosophy with storytelling in his prior works.

MacLeod and Banks, then, are almost unique in proposing SF narratives in which socialism has a heroic future -- and in doing so giving us an SFnal window into how socialists in the post-Soviet world think, and the unrecognized contradictions in their ideas.
In fact MacLeod is an anarchist at heart, and his futures succumb to the inevitability of markets in the absence of state control.
MacLeod gives us post-Communist Communism, heavy metal irony, socialist camp -- indeed, one of the two viewpoint characters uses the latter phrase to describe the "worker's state" she runs in Central Asia.

Iain Banks SF works are all published as Iain M. Banks, the mainstream as just Iain Banks.
Well now, I've been attempting to write almost as long as Iain has actually been writing, and in my case it wasn't so much difficulty with writing the second draft, as finishing the first one.
Then it was delivered to Iain's agent and he delivered really useful and cultured criticism - such as, for example, that while he liked the ideas and the language and so on, some work needed to be done on the motivations of my main characters and plot.

 [No title]
The episode occurred a few years ago at a meeting, as I understand, of Harold Macmillan's cabinet, when Iain Macleod, the Minister of Health, was using Blake to confirm the platitude that persuasion is preferable to compulsion: He who binds to himself a joy Doth the winged life destroy.
The fiver was thereupon repaid, and Macleod and his challenger were able to shake hands in the agreeable conviction that they were both right.
When it does I hope Iain Macleod will turn to page 770 of the Textual Notes, where he will find the following consolatory sentence: I binds/Previous editors have wavered between "bends" and "binds", but the dot on the i is visible in strong light (the whole poem is in pencil) Ex pede Herculem.

This added insult to injury, and Ruaraidh Mor of Dunvegan at once determined to be revenged for the injustice done to his sister, and for the unsult offered to himself, his family and clan, in her person, by Donald Gorm Mor of Sleat.
