Reminds me of the sci-fi book "The Children Star" by Joan Slonczewski.
She describes a world whose only civilization is an intelligent species of bacteria. Among other feats, they control the weather.
- TheTarquin 19y agoGood book? I haven't read any decent sci-fi in awhile (last good one was re-reading John Scalzi's Old Man's War series) and I've been looking to read some more of the genre.
- albertcardona 19y ago"The brain plague" by the same author is actually much better. The writing could use some help, but the ideas, oh my! My personal bias as a biologist sure influences my perception of the book, of course.
- TheTarquin 19y agoGreat! Thanks for the recommendation. I'll put it on my "to read" list.
