The Evolution of Spiders

Spiders have a whole suite of senses that we can't really easily imagine. So, weirdly enough, they're also considerably more human than either of the two major non-human points of view presented in the next book. They live in a world that is constantly informing them of things that we would be completely oblivious to. And so you get a society which has a lot of technology that builds on their own strengths. But it means that a lot of basic ideas, even when they have a means of communication, become very hard to communicate because the way you're thinking about them is very different.
