Pre-order Ray Nayler's brand-new speculative thriller Where the Axe is Buried, coming soon!
'I loved this novel's brain and heart'
DAVID MITCHELL, AUTHOR OF CLOUD ATLAS
'A first-rate speculative thriller, by turns fascinating, brutal, powerful, and redemptive'
JEFF VANDERMEER, AUTHOR OF ANNIHILATION
There are creatures in the water of Con Dao.
To the locals, they're monsters.
To the corporate owners of the island, an opportunity.
To the team of three sent to study them, a revelation.
Their minds are unlike ours.
Their bodies are malleable, transformable, shifting.
They can communicate.
And they want us to leave.
When pioneering marine biologist Dr. Ha Nguyen is offered the chance to travel to the remote Con Dao Archipelago to investigate a highly intelligent, dangerous octopus species, she doesn't pause long enough to look at the fine print. DIANIMA - a transnational tech corporation best known for its groundbreaking work in artificial intelligence - has purchased the islands, evacuated their population and sealed the archipelago off from the world so that Nguyen can focus on her research.
But the stakes are high: the octopuses hold the key to unprecedented breakthroughs in extrahuman intelligence and there are vast fortunes to be made by whoever can take advantage of their advancements. And no one has yet asked the octopuses what they think. And what they might do about it.

Highly recommended
The main merit of this book lies perhaps not in the story it tells, but in the author's reflections, on humanity, on freedom of choice and on the influence of people on the world around them. The novel devotes much attention to the problem of the development of artificial intelligence and the dangers it poses. Yet, ultimately, Ray Nayler vividly demonstrates to the reader that the greatest threat to humanity is neither artificial intelligence nor another sentient species, but human beings themselves. For a human, there is no one more dangerous than another human. So if you like science fiction with a lot of philosophical digressions, but not devoid of a gripping plot, and if you liked the movie "Arrival", then I highly recommend you read the novel "The Mountain in the Sea".
