From the octopus's musings:

"Humans have few rdeeming qualities, but their fingerprints are miniature works of art...

...(W)hen the doors lock for the night and the lights dim, they leave behind a stunning, intricate mural on the glass at the front of my tank.

Sometimes I spend quite some time staring at them, studying. Little oval masterpieces" (59).

First book I've read (and perhaps the only in existence) partly narrated by a philosophical octopus:

"For a moment I considered this option (death). Nothing was something. What might lie on the other side of life?" (25).
