For a sci-fi take on this, Children of Time and Children of Ruin, Adrian Tchaikovsky

  Really good science fictions novels, especially from a computer science perspective (and if you like ants, spiders, octopuses).

  ...and have to mention the best intelligent Ant movie - Phase IV - trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bcs3_b3VXSU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bcs3_b3VXSU

  Just to elaborate (mild spoilers): At some point in the Children of Time book, ant colonies become domesticated and are cultivated into general computation "devices". I definitely recommend the first book, but have yet to finish the second one.

    Second one has a different vibe, but I also enjoyed it. The author has a great way of helping you understand the different senses and intelligence of the different species.
