In this astonishing book from the author of the bestselling memoir The Good Good Pig, Sy Montgomery explores the emotional and physical world of the octopus—a surprisingly complex, intelligent, and spirited creature—and the remarkable connections it makes with humans.
Sy Montgomery’s popular 2011 Orion magazine piece, “Deep Intellect,” about her friendship with a sensitive, sweet-natured octopus named Athena and the grief she felt at her death, went viral, indicating the widespread fascination with these mysterious, almost alien-like creatures. Since then Sy has practiced true immersion journalism, from New England aquarium tanks to the reefs of French Polynesia and the Gulf of Mexico, pursuing these wild, solitary shape-shifters. Octopuses have varied personalities and intelligence they show in myriad ways: endless trickery to escape enclosures and get food; jetting water playfully to bounce objects like balls; and evading caretakers by using a scoop net as a trampoline and running around the floor on eight arms. But with a beak like a parrot, venom like a snake, and a tongue covered with teeth, how can such a being know anything? And what sort of thoughts could it think?
The intelligence of dogs, birds, and chimpanzees was only recently accepted by scientists, who now are establishing the intelligence of the octopus, watching them solve problems and deciphering the meaning of their color-changing camouflage techniques. Montgomery chronicles this growing appreciation of the octopus, but also tells a love story. By turns funny, entertaining, touching, and profound, The Soul of an Octopus reveals what octopuses can teach us about consciousness and the meeting of two very different minds.

作者：“八爪魚是一種高智商、充滿好奇心、且享受獨處的動物……水族館把尚未能飼養在展示水箱裏的年幼八爪魚囚禁在一個狹窄、毫無趣味及互動性可言的桶裏，每逢打開蓋子之際八爪魚都明顯想逃脫並對圍觀的人類噴水。”讀者（我）：“請問水族館從人道問題和動物福利角度而言是否有值得檢討的地方？”作者：“……”【十分討人厭的一本書：一來書裏的八爪魚實在太可憐瞭，二來對於作者私生活及人際關係的描述太多瞭——還學貸啊尋找人生意義啊之類話題我不 care 啊？我是來看八爪魚的啊誰 jb cares abt 人類？？棄瞭。
评分學潛水看章魚已正式加入bucket list
评分自從小時候愛上瞭一本科普老讀物《章魚傢族趣談》，時隔多年仍念念不忘，最近遇到瞭又一本講章魚的科普佳作，怎講，如果小美人魚要在海裏養個貓，可能會養章魚吧。作者算是趣味科普暢銷書中的常客瞭，希望引進。
评分They r beautiful, the book and the octopus. The common impression in most of our minds about the octopus r scary, alienish animals. That was my impression about octopus before I encountered the story. Book author did a very simple thing, she told us what the octopus really r. Intelligent, interactive, and beautiful. That's what octopus really like.
