Sentient spiders (self.sciencefiction)

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?

Rocky from Project Hail Mary is kind of spiderlike

That's actually who I was mentioning last haha. He definitely fits the bill! I was quite surprised when the author introduced him, I was not expecting it.

I listened to Children of Time (and Children of Ruin) earlier this year. Just listening to PHM now and that was my first thought with meeting Rocky.

I am not a fan of earthly arachnids but space-spiders seem pretty cool IMO

Not a huge deal, but if you see this message would you be able to put a spoiler around the book title? 👽
