Against a Dark Background is standalone and also particularly good.
I cannot recommend Ian M. Banks at all no matter how good he is. The reason being is that his Culture series is incomplete in eBook. And when a series is incomplete like that, I say "Go away, you won't get my money and I'll do my best to make sure nobody else wastes their money too."
