- GCU_Grey_Area abstract "In the novel Excession by Iain M. Banks, the GCU Grey Area is a General Contact Unit (a self-aware spaceship dedicated to the task of exploring the universe and interacting with other species) of the fictional Culture society that has turned eccentric. It has the dubious distinction of being one of the few Culture ships to not be listed in official records by its chosen name.The Grey Area has a fascination with war, genocide and pain and the methods of inflicting it. Its interior is a museum containing devices that inflict pain and documents detailing their use. The ship has been described in reviews as \"psychopathically righteous\", and as a good example of Banks' not letting technological terms and SF-staples stand in the way of describing interesting characters. The descriptions of the ship's actions are also cited as examples of how Banks uses both elaborate and plain language to underscore his points.The main reason Grey Area is despised by its peers is that it has chosen to ignore the Culture's taboo on non-consensual mindreading. It is for this reason that the ship is more commonly known among the other Culture Minds as Meatfucker, a highly charged expletive among the Culture's artificial intelligences (one by which Banks alludes to less utopian subtext in the relationship between the Culture's Minds and its human members, in which undue intimacy between these is seen as akin to bestiality). In the novel Look to Windward it is explained that the denial of a Culture Mind's chosen name is viewed as a grave insult and mark of disapproval by its peers.".
