Sirius: A Fantasy of Love and Discord by Olaf Stapledon
4.0
Written in 1944, this novel tells the story of a dog whose intelligence has been artificially boosted to human levels, and explores the physical and social practicalities of how a dog with human intelligence might find its place (or not) in a human world.
Another book which I am revisiting after a long time, this one is very much worth the second visit. Stapledon puts a lot of thought into what life in the human world would be like for a dog with human level intelligence, but with a very different sensory and physical abilities. A fascinating exploration.
