Thinking about it, the ultimate fate of Meatfucker has always troubled me. Do we really want a GCU obsessed with genocide to be the first culture contact absorbed into the OCP?

I thought that was a big part of why the OCP reported that the Culture universe wasn't ready to be contacted yet? Between the near-war and Meatfucker's issues they certainly gave a poor first impression.

If a a book has Knife-Missiles in it, it's a Culture book. The Bridge is a Culture book.

By this metric, Guardians of the Galaxy would qualify.
