- Alex3917 9y agoNo idea, but just go on Amazon and buy a book on ants if you want to learn more about them. And you should. To quote E.O. Wilson, "If you're not interested in ants then you're probably not a very interesting person."
- bertil 9y agoUnlikely to be that one, but the most interesting book about ants that most of my friends read during high school was this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_the_Ants_(novel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_of_the_Ants_(novel) It’s a novel that is SciFi-ish in its construction but actually, it’s more an expose of a general theory of complex systems build by naive agents, stigmergy (coordination by traces).
