I’ve just finished A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. It was amazing and coincidentally my two last books where children of time(1 and 2) and (as to not spoil the reveal) a certain book involving spiders/crabs that live in high pressure environment.

I’m thoroughly enjoying the theme I have going on even if it was purely accidental, what would be some good recommendations involving sentient spider to pursue next?

While not Spider related, A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge is really good. It’s sort of the prequel to A Deepness in the Sky.

You have that backwards, actually. Deepness in the Sky is the prequel, set about 20k years before A Fire Upon the Deep. Both are good books though!

Ahhh, thanks! It’s been quite a while since I read them.
