Robinson always makes sci-fi / fantasy real. Bless him. I like all his books for different reasons, but I suppose the most important is that he always surprises me. ( )

One of Spider's earlier works, and one of my favorites. I first read it when the first fourth of the book was published in Analog (called "By Any Other Name"), and was happy to see he'd extended it, fleshed it out, and continued it.

It's an interesting concept; the idea that there are beings who've been on the planet with us, all along, and that are somehow invisible (and not in possession of corporeal bodies). It's not exactly a spirit world, but it's truly a tale of survival. ( )
