It's ctulhu mythos. But yes, Blindsight is excellent. Did you read the sequel?

I have just finished both books in Peter Watts Firefall series.

I loved them. It was interesting that neither book was "about" the events unfolding and rather seemed to be an examination of consciousness and intelligence (human and otherwise).

I loved Blindsight except for some biochemical blunders, but Echopraxia really blew my socks off, even though I had to read the AMA to understand what the fuck was going on. Really sick book.

Honestly I've read the AMA, re-read multiple parts of the books many times, and researched some of the subject matter on my own time, and I still don't totally get what's going on in Echopraxia. I mean I get the jist but that book is just jam-packed with smart and crazy sci-fi ideas (possibly too many of them). Still one of my favorites.

I really hope PW gets around to a third book. I want more of those aliens.

Watts for Scifi and Bakker for Fantasy are my current two favorite authors!
Hard to read anything from anyone else these days.

They should team up on a two face novel! Each of them writting the same story from a different POV.
How is this not a thing already?!
