I read Dr. Seeley's Honeybee Democracy in 2021, and then again early 2023 (after using ChatGPT). It was my favorite non-fiction read 2021 (Steinbeck's East of Eden for fiction).

The last chapters touch on how simple rulesets can create incredible complexity in the overall supraorganism — it had me thinking of the robots and generative AI that will likely power their micro- & collective- thoughts.

A beautiful book overall, with and without computer comparisons:
