Children of Strife

Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time books are about exploring different types of minds. In the first book he looked at spider minds, specifically uplifted Portia spiders. In the second it was octopuses and an alien group mind. In the third it was mated birds and another type of mind. In Children of Strife, he continues this theme, looking at the minds of uplifted mantis shrimp and other minds uploaded in new ways.
