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?

    Have you read It by Stephen King? Not really Scifi but there is a spider in there!

      I’ve read a couple of his books but never IT for some reason. I’m bound to get back on the Stephen King wagon eventually, I’ll start with that one.

        Oh man, I totally forgot. Expeditionary Force is so good! Its funny like hitch hikers guide to the galaxy but more modern and the writing is not as clever. But there is a HUGE story arc dealing with super smart spiders. I listened to it and I’m pretty sure it was made for audiobooks first.

      It’s horror but I think It is some kinda extea diminisional being.

      I guess what I’m saying is a lot of King’s stories are horror but with a bit of sci-fi (Under the Dome and Dreamcatcher for instance probably cross the line into being Sci-fi tbh).
