Is blindsight worth a read? It seemed interesting from the brief description.
Oh yes, I think Peter Watts is a great author. He's very good at tackling high concept ideas while also keeping it fun and interesting. Blindsight has a vampire in it in case there wasn't already enough going on for you ๐
Unrelated to the topic at hand, I also highly recommend Starfish by him. It was the first novel of his I read. A dark, psychological thriller about a bunch of misfits working a deep sea geothermal power plant and how they cope (or don't) with the situation at hand.
My blindsight book finally arrived at the library, gonna start on it today!
Hope you enjoy! It's getting referenced so much these days, I think I'm due for a reread myself.
