“For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die.”

~ Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from reading a book.

2025 reads / storygraph

Children of Time / Children of Ruin / Children of Memory

sci-fi series following the remnants of humanity across generations as they try to survive on the planets they’ve terraformed

as conflict on earth increases, a scientist releases a nanovirus intended to rapidly evolve monkeys onto a planet they’ve terraformed, which instead infects a species of jumping spiders, creating a complex society

while a classicist of old earth from an ark of humans who’ve spent generations trying to find an another planet to call home, is intermittently woken up in order to translate communications between them and the spider planet they’ve been warned away from, as it is their only option

IN BOOK 2, a ship from the eventual spider-and-human society travel to a distant system that was occupied by another remnant of humanity, a crew terraforming a planet who also let loose their own experiments, creating an octopus society - but the planet was already occupied by true alien life, which caused things to go wrong...

IN BOOK 3, they travel to yet another colony of humans after detecting fragments of signals, and enter their small settlement to try and understand what’s going on

explores the way the different civilisations develop over time, what makes life and sentience and personhood
