Antithesis
on March 18, 2012
Intelligent science fiction - there's a novelty. No hyperspace, no big robots, no time travel, just a well thought out story about ants. Well, there's a fair bit more than ants going on, although, as Whitaker clearly enjoys his research you will learn a lot about the creature that makes up possibly one fifth of all the biomass on Earth. One of the book's strengths is the sense of location - Whitaker really makes Namibia come alive, and brings a sense of history and how that has affected and continues to affect local communities. If the book has a fault, then the main character is perhaps too good (at her profession, morally, socially) and a touching subplot about a local girl is resolved a little too quickly. The ants are the stars of the story, Whitaker keeps it tight and efficient - much like the insects themselves.
