| Sep 21, 2021 at 16:44 | comment | added | John O | @user535733 Clarke had a thing about intelligent termite swarms though, was in several short stories. The termites weren't individually intelligent, at least in those that I'd read. | |
| Sep 21, 2021 at 14:23 | comment | added | user535733 | Retreat From Earth (Arthur C. Clarke, 1938) has malevolent martian invaders battling (apparently) termites-controlled-by-an-unseen-intelligence, with humans completely oblivious to the war to protect them raging around. | |
| Sep 21, 2021 at 13:43 | comment | added | John O | in Greg Bear's Blood Music a scientist genetically engineers his own white blood cells to have human-levels of intelligence by giving them tiny organic DNA-based computation devices. Weirdness ensues, including burning snow and the downfall of standard physics. | |

| Sep 21, 2021 at 2:44 | comment | added | JBH | The purpose of this site is to help you design and consistently use the rules and systems of a fictional world of your own creation. From that perspective, the answer is obviously "yes" as you control the rules. If you're asking about whether or not this could happen in Real Life, that's off-topic for this site and better asked someplace like Earth Science (expect the answer to be "insofar as we understand sapience, no"). Does that affect your Q, or should we ask the mods to migrate it? | |
