Children of Time is great. I also thought Alien Clay by Tchaikovsky was interesting. Although I'm a little skeptical about how aliens work in that one.

    I was gonna say, it was a neat concept, but he didn't really spend the time to make it convincing or explain the mechanism for how life would evolve to be like that. It's like he just had this idea that life could be more modular, but didn't bother fleshing it out past that. I actually enjoyed Shroud a lot more, I feel like he put more work into making it plausible. Can recommend if you missed it.
