Children of Time

In a future where Earth is dying, the last remnants of humanity embark on a desperate journey across the stars aboard the generation ship Gilgamesh, seeking a new home. Their destination is a terraformed planet, once prepared by their ancestors for human colonization. However, centuries of isolation have led to an unexpected and profound evolution on this 'new Eden.' A meticulously engineered uplift project, intended to accelerate a primate species, has instead fostered the astonishing rise of an arachnid civilization. Highly intelligent and complex, these new inhabitants have transformed the world into their own, unaware of their planet's original purpose. As the two vastly different civilizations - the struggling, desperate humans and the burgeoning, evolved spiders - find themselves on an inevitable collision course, 'Children of Time' explores profound themes of survival, evolution, and what it truly means to be intelligent. The narrative is a breathtaking clash of species, questioning who has the rightful claim to inherit a world.
