Very fun read! Wonderful exploration into theoretical evolution and I thought the differences in perspective of spiders vs humans was fascinating. Wish it had been explored more but overall very good book.

Finished reading the book - was an excellent concept but very technical and sometimes boring, hence losing interest. But I'm glad I did finish it.

Very complex and dense world building, but oh boy does it pay off. I found myself skimming quite a bit through some of the more sciencey bits, but I think once you get a general gist you can understand what’s going on with the context. For me it was 500 pages of world building to make the last 100 pages hit you like a ton of bricks. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to kill a spider again.
