         | I really enjoyed Children of Time, and I just started the
         | latest entry in the series a couple of days ago. Speaking of
         | octopuses though, I highly recommend The Mountain in the Sea by
         | Ray Nayler. It was a riveting read and dealt just as much with
         | artificial intelligence (timely considering all the hubbub
         | around LLMs lately) as it did with the rise of consciousness in
         | octopuses in the near future and how humanity might react to
         | that. I couldn't put it down.
