I’m sure I read a sci-fi novel some years back where one of the main characters selectively breeds octopuses for intelligence before dropping them on a terraformed planet and there was a small bit about how he didn’t like octopuses either and so called them octopii.

fun book, forgot the name.

- yayitswei 2y agoCould it be "Children of Time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky? (ht Claude)
- jayGlow 2y agoit sounds more like the sequel "children of ruin" children of time primarily involves spiders.

- globular-toast 2y agoRight. They are talking about the sequel, Children of Ruin.
