AG Harness

The AG Harness debuts in 'Consider Phlebas' as an inexpensive, strap-on anti-gravity device enabling low-G flight and tunnel navigation, epitomizing the gritty, accessible tech of the Idiran-Culture war era. Across the series, it remains a staple low-end gadget for non-Culture users, contrasting the Minds' sophisticated drones and fields, with no significant technological evolution but persistent utility in asymmetric conflicts. Its simplicity underscores Iain M. Banks' theme of makeshift ingenuity amid cosmic-scale warfare.
