Kate is a senior executive officer in a powerful and massively discreet transglobal organization. The character of The Business seems, even to her, to be vague to the point of invisibility. Her job is to keep abreast of technological developments, but she must let go the assumptions of a lifetime.

Review of 'The business' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Surprisingly fast read. Finished most of it on a plane flight. Some interesting ideas relating to the structure of the Business itself, but not a lot of meat to the book. The Couffable plot-line seemed entirely tacked on to provide forward motion. I'm still of the opinion that Iain M. Banks books are vastly superior to Iain Banks books.
