Author: Adrian Tchaikovsky
Set in a world in another galaxy, where the inhabitants have been genetically modified to take on the aspects of insects. Wasps, bees, mantids, moths, beetles. Each race with their own traits. Like a fly who can not see glass, some people are "not apt" and can not understand technology. Even something as simple as opening a door is beyond them. The world is changing as the "technologically apt" species are growing more numerous, old wars arise again and technology may not help this time.
