"Colonists from Earth wanted the perfect home, but they'll have to survive on the one they found. They don't realize another life form watches...and waits...Only mutual communication can forge an alliance with the planet's sentient species and prove that humans are more than tools."--

Review of 'Semiosis' on Goodreads

2 stars

Gah, I wanted to like this at a few points, but the plants-are-good-not-evil-ai are just capitalism which reveals itself to be sorry for killing the disobedient animals it enslaves and we are told is better than human violent tendencies or the agricultural utopian dreams of the original colonists who's kids kill them for the convenience that the plants offer.
