I've just finished A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. It was amazing and coincidentally my two last books where children of time(1 and 2) and (as to not spoil the reveal) a certain book involving spiders/crabs that live in high pressure environment.

I'm thoroughly enjoying the theme I have going on even if it was purely accidental, what would be some good recommendations involving sentient spider to pursue next?

If you like frightening giant space crabs, the Prador in Neal Asher's books are great. Absolutely vicious and villainous.

I'll definitely look into it. I love a good villain. I guess il start with prador moon as per my theme but all his series look pretty interesting after giving his wiki a glance. Thanks!
