The Culture - Orbitals.
An Orbital is a ring structure orbiting a star. Unlike a Dyson Sphere, an Orbital does not enclose the star. However, like a Ringworld the Orbital rotates to provide an analog of gravity on the inner surface. A Culture Orbital rotates about once every 24 hours and has 'gravity' about the same as Earth's, making the diameter of the ring about 4,000,000 km, and ...

The Culture - Biological.
The Culture is a posthuman society, which originally arose when seven or eight roughly humanoid space-faring species coalesced into a quasi-collective - a "group-civilisation" - ultimately consisting of approximately thirty trillion (short scale) sentient beings. Although the Culture was originated by humanoid species, subsequent interactions with other civilisations have introduced many non-humanoid species into the Cult ...

| | | | The Culture - Habitats: Encyclopedia II - The Culture - Real-world politics Comparisons are often made between the Culture and the 20th and 21st Century Western civilization(s), particularly their interventions in less-developed societies. These are often confusing especially with regard to the Author's assumed politics.
Many believe that the Culture is a utopia carrying significantly greater moral legitimacy than the West's, by comparison, proto-democracies. While Culture interventions can seem similar at first to Western interventions, especially when considered with their democratising rhetoric, the argume ...

| | | | The Culture - Habitats: Encyclopedia II - The Culture - Foreign policy and good works Although leading a comfortable life within the Culture, many of its citizens feel a need to be useful, and to belong to a society that does not merely exist for their own sake, but that also helps improve the lot of sentient beings throughout the galaxy. For that reason, the Culture carries out "good works", covertly or overtly interfering in the development of lesser civilisations. As Culture citizens see it, these ...

| | | | The Culture - Habitats: Encyclopedia II - The Culture - The culture of the Culture The Culture is a symbiotic society of AI's (Minds, Drones) and humanoids, who all share equal status. As mentioned above, all essential work is performed (as far as possible) by non-sentient devices, freeing sentients to do only things that they enjoy.
It is also a post scarcity society, where technological advances mean no-one wants for any material goods. As a consequence, the Culture has no need of economic constructions such as money (as is apparent when it de ...
