Nice one, that’s the book. Thanks!

I asked this question a few months back and had a ton of replies. I’ll leave a link to the thread and highlight my two favourite books so far.

Children of Time - Adrian Tchaikovsky “Evolutionary storytelling”. It tells the story of an entire civilization as it grows and evolves from nothing, whilst simultaneously telling a story that takes place over a much more conventional timescale. Very good book IMO, with two slightly-less-strong sequals

Idaho Winter - Tony Burgess What a bizarre book this was. I don’t know if it’s a good book, but it was weird and kept me entertained so that’s good enough for me.

This is a cool idea! I wish I’d found it before going on holiday last week, I read five books in five days and had a great time. Yes I am bragging. Thanks for putting all this work in to the idea :)
