Description
Adrian Tchaikovsky's award-winning novel explores humanity's desperate flight from a dying Earth and the unexpected evolution of a new civilization on a distant world. As the last remnants of humankind journey across the stars, they encounter a planet teeming with intelligent spiders, whose society has been shaped by a unique nanovirus and the lingering influence of a human scientist. The narrative unfolds across centuries, contrasting the struggles of the human survivors with the remarkable development of the arachnid species, raising profound questions about intelligence, survival, and the very definition of life.
