The most Imaginative flight of Fancy ever! Hothouse.
This is another of those books which converted my understanding of possibility and what we might evolve into. In this far flung into the Future world, the Human race has diminished in size to the point where they live inside nutshells in the trees, and are no bigger than perhaps to our knees when compared to the size of a Human today. Makes me think of Buddha's prediction that in the far Future, Humans will be so small in stature that they will be able to climb a chili tree (they grow to about one meter in height).
In the future, when the Sun has expanded and is ready to go nova, few animal species remain while plants have adapted to fill animal niches. One of the few species to survive are humans, but in much-altered forms. It is here where young tribal Gren finds himself captured by an intelligent fungus with plans to colonize humans to control the world! Hothouse tells the story of a remarkable journey of discovery that will alter your perceptions about the true nature of the world today... and the world to come!
