What a very stupid analogy.

We don't have explicit trade with ants, they don't explicitly trade with us, yet the ants are doing just fine. One of the most prevalent and prolific species of life on the planet Earth, Ants will arguably be here long after the stupid humans and their super intelligent computers are long gone.

Is there any science fiction that features far-future highly evolved ants ?

"City", by Clifford Simak. I highly recommend reading it, so won't post spoilers. But one thing for sure - we don't trade with ants there too :) .
Awesome, thanks for the suggestion!!
Not that I'm aware of, but there should be!
