Adrian Tchaikovsky: Children of Ruin (AudiobookFormat)
Audiobook
Tchaikovsky's Children Of Series focuses on the lifeforms left behind by mankind's self-destruction. The sentient spiders from Children of Time are back, and are exploring a solar system caught in a civil war. One of science fiction's strengths is being able to imagine other beings, and Tchaikovsky's depictions of their life and thoughts are excellent here as well.
The way Tchaikovsky brings total alien intelligence to life is just spellbinding.
Another brilliant exploration of other minds with even more high stakes.
Join in and read it, we’re going on an adventure!
(That phrase will give you chills)
Decent read! Unexpectedly enjoyed having previously read one of the author's reference books (if you have gotten into Children of Ruin you might be able to guess which topic it concerns :) Less bombastic storyline than Children of Time, a larger focus on cognition in general
