The Culture Series by Iain M Banks.

There's too much detail and too vast a story for it ever to be made into a piece of film media (alongside Banks' wishes that it never be made into one)

How about Waps Factory? That would be a great movie.

Or is this a different Iain Banks... I feel like I tripped on this before.

Not to worry, caught me out as well a couple of times. It's the same author, he used 'Iain M. Banks' for his scifi work and 'Iain Banks' for regular eathbound fiction.

Wasp factory would make for a magnificent film, if only there were directors alive that had the chops to make a film worthy eh.
