Children of Time is a 2015 science fiction novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
In the distant future, humanity seeks to create new habitats for itself on distant planets, terraforming them and seeding them with life. Dr. Avrana Kern is heading one such project, orbiting the tentatively named “Kern’s World”, where the plan is to release monkeys 
infected with a nanovirus that will accelerate their evolution. Through an act of sabotage from an anti-technology group that has also destroyed much of Earth, the monkeys are never released, and the virus instead infects a species of spider, Portia labiata. The book follows the evolution of the spiders and their eventual civilisation, as well as a remnant of humanity that fled to Kern’s World hoping to find paradise.
also children of ruin and children of memory, the sequels, are really good

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

I’ve said this all before but I’m feeling it real good again. I’m so freaking thankful for this website. I’m so so so glad I came on here and made that post with my feels and met you all. I’m almost certain I would still be calling myself a cis man i it wasn’t for you all 😭, and because I don’t, I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I’m still trying to figure out the details, but realizing I don’t have to be a guy has been so unimaginably freeing, and I wanted to thank you all again for helping me realize it.
