Clarke Award for best science fiction of the year in August 2016. The director of the award program said that the novel has a "universal scale and sense of wonder reminiscent of Clarke himself."In July 2017, the rights were optioned for a potential film adaptation.A sequel, Children of Ruin, was published in 2019.

Felt like a teen again, reading some top-notch sci fi

5 sterren

Quite a feat of writing: Literary language, engaging plot, clever ending, amazing world-building, thought-provoking questions. The humans weren't quite as interesting as the spiders, sure, but their story was a good foil and drove the plot.

Aliens and spiders

4 sterren

Earth is dust, humans are looking for new planets to settle. Generation ships travelling for thousands of years, genetically engineered spiders, failed terraformed planets, first contact, a look into an alien society evolving through the years. Even though there are wars and the classic conflicts for power, I liked the optimistic ending.
