Read Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep to find answers to questions like these: What if, instead of evolving from apes, people had evolved from dogs? Or plants? What if, besides atomic and molecular physics, there was another kind, too? What if you are rooting for the heroes to fail at most of what they are trying because their goals are so tragically mistaken?
It's award-winning sci-fi brought to me by one of the the ballroom dance book-lenders. Actually, brought to R. and confiscated by me. Thanks (other) R. for lending us this book.
