I could smack myself for not reading this sooner!This book is one I have meant to get to for quite a while, but I must admit, I knew it was about Spiders and I reaaaaally don't like them so I let that put me off for quite a while. 1 chapters SHIPPING. It had a small head, eyes glittering amongst the glossy fur behind frond-like antennae that extended forward in delicate furls. Yes, ‘Children of Time’ is that good.Hard science fiction = a category of science fiction characterized by an emphasis on Hard science fiction = a category of science fiction characterized by an emphasis on [But something goes wrong and instead of monkeys, who were supposed to inhabit this planet and evolve due to a nanovirus, the ones which get infected are the spiders.

Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Well, it turns out that future-us thinks that we need to set-up a new planet with super-intelligent monkeys ruling it. [I’m no biologist but I don’t think that a nanovirus could transform a species, which at the beginning had just 60k neurons (in fact, 600k, but somebody ate a 0) directly into scientists, after increasing in body size, of course... (wouldn’t have been interesting if we wouldn’t had giant spiders, right?) This narrative is set over 1000’s of years. —

The Children of Time?I have really struggled with this book.
Five stars because of the incredible, millennia- spanning plot.
Children of Time is Adrian Tchaikovsky’s first Sci-Fi and also my first experience with his work. Really the only science fiction I tend to like is character driven so I was up against it from the start! I like scifi in generational, but especially deep space explorations of the last humans (usually on board a generational ship) are one of my favourite topics.
