Reads like Jo Nesbø’s novelization of the grimdark Shadowrun campaign he played with James Elroy and Carl Hiaasan that was DMed by Elmore Leonard.
The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration Into the Wonder of Consciousness by Sy Montgomery
5.0
A shockingly touching, emotional, and eye opening dive into the world of octopuses, written with a keen and loving touch that only the likes of Sy Montgomery could perform. A wonderful read that will change the way you look at at cephalopods and the ocean.
