Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky
An archaeologist unearths the remains of a prehuman civilization whose astonishing technologies and inscrutable motives have been buried for millennia, and the discovery unleashes forces that challenge modern humanity’s assumptions about identity, agency and stewardship. As the past reaches into the present, the narrator and other characters must navigate ethical and political fault lines—deciding who gets to control ancient power, how to reckon with beings that are not simply ‘other,’ and what it means to inherit a world shaped by vanished, elder minds.
