This is a fascinating look into the similarities and differences between the ways humans communicate with each other, and other species .. including technology.
There’s a heavy focus on octopuses which I particularly enjoyed. I’ve always been fascinated by how/why octopuses are so intelligent when they are not very social. This book explores what might happen if they were…
This book touches on so much, what it means to be alive, the concept of communication and the consequences of the technology we’ve built.
If you’re a fan of sci-fi, I think you’ll like this book.

I loved it, I haven’t read a book this strange in a long time. I felt often like it was talking directly to me. It wasn’t flawless, but for what it accomplished I think it was close enough to it. The science stuff was really interesting, the environmentalism was beautiful. The philosophical parts were good too, sometimes profound, although I think it did get a bit heavy handed and repetitive around the 3/4 mark. Overall fantastic book! I really recommend it. 🐒 🐙 🦑 🔬 💸
