Excession

Iain Banks

earliest edition we have, 1996 hardcover

Culture — book 5

Two and a half millennia ago, the artifact appeared in a remote corner of space, beside a trillion-year-old dying sun from a different universe. It was a perfect black-body sphere, and it did nothing. Then it disappeared. Now it is back.
