no idea what happened but i'm glad you're taking action, it sounds like something absolutely cringe was posted. i really need to read that book at some point
kinda the plot of children of time by adrian tchaikovsky
a faction of humans creates a garden planet and then tries to infect monkeys with a virus to make them sapient, with the endgoal being a monkey slave workforce that sees humans as god
obviously it failed at the first hurdle and spiders accidentally get uplifted instead
Nala Sinephro - Endlessness is so fucking good, it's jazz/electronic/ambient
