I think that it is an influence worth risking.
The settings themselves vary wildly, and technically the books occur before, during, and after the present. The level of technology varies wildly.
The one thing in common is the examination of the content of the character of the "human" being, and how we are the same or different, adapt or don't, expand or hide.
It's truly masterful work that, yes has cool gizmos and concepts but worries more about how the gizmos make you feel.
No one has mentioned The Culture?
There really wouldn't be much to update because a good chunk of it is still modern. Not only that, but Banks really fucked with gender, ideology, and civil rights in a way that is still incredibly relevant in 2023.
I also really want someone to try to portray Fwi-Song from Consider Phlebas.
Oh boy, what can't we put ads in?
Can we get MtDew Green Lights with Coca-Cola Red lights?
The spacebar on laptops is free game, just asking for it.
It really is a shame that I can still buy bedsheets that aren't branded with a corporate advertising campaign.
Not 1-to-1, but yes, it's already a limited-rights area.

Based on pics it looks like a rifle that's not legal in DC due to it having too many features, and probably the named/clone ban.
Being from Atlanta I presume the fellow did not take the 16 hour class to put in for a DC carry permit, which doesn't let you open carry or carry on the mall.
That's a felony for the firearm, carrying it, one for each bullet, and each magazine over 10 rounds.
Accidentally made a hot-girl union.
Now they can organize and demand higher quality pickup lines.
A clear enclosure so they can watch but not touch.
I guess only men can answer but fuck it.
Trans women who want to get rid of their penis get shafted (pun intended) by circumcision as it reduces the amount of material for GRS.
That plus those who want to keep it have to deal with the same impacts as other penis owners. Perhaps even more so, as lack of T and atrophy are not assisted by the loss of the protective layer.
Most people don't really have a string opinion though, since you don't often find someone who experienced a sex life with a penis in both configurations.
Yes, I'm excited to see the results of that mission to tell us if arms are good enough or if we need softer effectors.
In the end we may need to swallow trash wholesale in large containment vessels before doing and dv changes, or some other difficult expensive way.
Yes it can dissipate, but you are likely to see some ESD effects.
Curious to see which bus manufacturer eventually takes it on.
And some are set in the past! A large period of time is covered.
