Children of Time

Interesting but not entirely satisfying study of what might happen if arachnids were seeded with human intelligence. I found it hard to accept the spiderverse created, almost like it was arrogant for humans to think they could understand spider psychology. Which is silly, this is sci-fi, but I couldn’t quite suspend my disbelief enough. The side-story of remnant humanity searching for a home was more compelling, the large swathes of time passed in cryo-suspension made for interesting implications, but ultimately forgettable in the face of the spiders.
