Spiders undergo enhanced evolution, building an extraordinary new civilisation. Meanwhile the last of humanity searches for a new home, bringing its destructive tendencies with it. Impressive & audacious vision, but lacks engaging characters.

Top quality science fiction.

a great thought experiment in what other-than-human intelligence may look like and the communicative boundaries apparent - and this is just with a species that is also originating from earth. really enjoyed the dual storyline, drawing thematic similarities regarding the struggles of collective life through the parallels of a civilization on the rise with one in spiral.
