[1/3] Adrian Tchaikovsky is filling an Iain-Banks-shaped hole in the world.
Iain Banks remains my favorite SF author: I love the way his Culture novels combine space opera with very thoughtful and sometimes "deep" themes. Overall, I see them as "adult" in a way that most SF isn't.

[2/3] When he passed away, I lamented finding a good substitute. I've tried and liked some authors, such as Ann Leckie (@ann_leckie@mastodon.annleckie.com), and Alastair Reynolds (https://www.alastairreynolds.com/), but not until Adrian Tchaikovsky's (@aptshadow) Children of Time series did I feel that I had found a book that was simultaneously entertaining and thought-provoking in the way I was looking for.
