I’ve just finished A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. It was amazing and coincidentally my two last books where children of time(1 and 2) and (as to not spoil the reveal) a certain book involving spiders/crabs that live in high pressure environment.
I’m thoroughly enjoying the theme I have going on even if it was purely accidental, what would be some good recommendations involving sentient spider to pursue next?
A Darkling Sea by James L Cambias. Not spiders but I found this one similar to Children of Time in the way the non-human species viewpoints were described. It deals with an underwater species on another planet making first contact with humans.
