At No. 246, do you mean “The Game Players of Titan” by Philip K. Dick, or “The Player of Games” by Iain M. Banks?
The latter is, in my opinion, the best science fiction novel I’ve read. And it was only his second book.
It’s the Iain M Banks one – that’s me having a brain fade!
Yes I do like Iain. Such a shame that he died so young and had so many more books in him.
