THE MOUNTAIN IN THE SEA - RAY NAYLER KARTONIERT...

*WINNER OF 2023 LOCUS AWARD FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL * FINALIST FOR THE NEBULA AWARD  and THE LOS
ANGELES TIMES RAY BRADBURY PRIZE The Mountain in the Sea is a wildly original  gorgeously
written  unputdownable gem of a novel. Ray Nayler is one of the most exciting new voices I've
read in years. -Blake Crouch  author of Upgrade and Dark Matter Humankind discovers intelligent
life in an octopus species with its own language and culture  and sets off a high-stakes global
competition to dominate the future. The transnational tech corporation DIANIMA has sealed off
the remote Con Dao Archipelago  where a species of octopus has been discovered that may have
developed its own language and culture. The marine biologist Dr. Ha Nguyen  who has spent her
life researching cephalopod intelligence  will do anything for the chance to study them. She
travels to the islands to join DIANIMA's team: a battle-scarred securityagent and the world's
first (and possibly last) android. The octopuses hold the key to unprecedented breakthroughs in
extrahuman intelligence. As Dr. Nguyen struggles to communicate with the newly discovered
species  forces larger than DIANIMA close in to seize the octopuses for themselves. But no one
has yet asked the octopuses what they think. Or what they might do about it. A near-future
thriller  a meditation on the nature of consciousness  and an eco-logical call to arms  Ray
Nayler's dazzling literary debut The Mountain in the Sea is a mind-blowing dive into the
treasure and wreckage of humankind's legacy.
