Reminds me of the sci-fi book Children of Time. It follows the cultural evolution of a species of intelligent spiders. When they're angry, they vibrate and shake the web a certain way. In larger meetings, the spiders all share a single web, and private "whispers" are subtle plucking of private strands between two members.
- KineticLensman 5y agoIf one enjoys reading SF that involves intelligent spiders, then A Deepness in the Sky [0] is worth a look. Although the arachnoids in 'Deepness' are spider-like aliens, rather than evolved Earth-spiders, as in Children of Time. The latter also has evolved ants, as well. Both books are highly recommended.
