Mountain in the Sea

↻ 2026-03-30

This is a good story, well written, a light read for vacation without being superficial. The device of the octopus as an alternative intelligence is not particularly well developed, and is almost peripheral to the story of human conquest and greed. There’s a side plotline about robotic fishing vessels (which aren’t so robotic after all) which could almost justify being the main plotline, as it’s far more interesting than the octopus colony.

All in all, though, it deserves its popularity. A worthwhile read.
