Specifically a review of the BBC full cast audio production of the novella State of the Art and not this whole book...
The audio is definitely way ahead of the written novella, which is a bit flat. Banks just starting to get going on the Culture material.
The audio has an ironic and in some senses chilling rendition of the rest of the crew of the ship that adds significant tension to the position of the protagonist, and the choice she makes between earth and culture.
You should be able to find the BBC audio for free somewhere on the internet...
