Was a better book.

They would be a good idea for a science fiction novel

Our current existing octopus are devolved space faring aliens
The originals come back to find out what happened to them
Could even be a means for them to genetically diversify

They are about the most alien animal we have.

If a flying saucer landed and a giant tarantula strode out, I wouldn’t be saying “could be worse, could be an octopus…”
