This book really made me realise (once again) how strange and wonderful good science-fiction can be.

Thirding the recommendation. I heard about this book on HN too, btw. It's absolutely amazing, I love how the author constructed a civilization of sentient, tool-using beings that's qualitatively different than humans. It's one of the most original books I've ever read, and it rekindled my interest in insects.
