What do the ocean and the universe have in common? How did octopuses and humans come into being? What exactly are cephalopods - and why do they have such funny names? Octopuses are the oldest intelligent creatures on our planet, true ‘aliens’ whose abilities amaze us. Michael Stavarič and Michèle Ganser have created a non-fiction book full of surprising twists that offers much more than simple knowledge transfer. Together with their readers, they enter the realm of the octopus and invite us to go on adventure together. A book that is as unusual as the octopus itself: to think about and participate in, full of funny details and vivid descriptions.
