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?

    I love Fire Upon the Deep so much! Love the slow release of details in those first few chapters that build the world without giving it all away up front! Also thought it was really clever how the author avoids making the book feel quickly dated as tech evolves past what was around when he wrote it, especially around the ‘what the internet will be like in the future’ bits by focusing more on human behaviour and how we would use futuristic versions of the internet instead of getting to specific about the way the future tech itself works. Cause human behaviour doesn’t really change haha.
