The Forge of God and its sequel, Anvil of the Stars, are amazing books for anyone interested in the dark forest theory, by the way. A bit slow and contemplative, so you have to be in the right mood, but they're one of my favorite reads of the last few years. I think there's a passage that even uses an analogy of a forest, though I'm not sure.
