Side note: subterranean microbes play a large role in the plot of Stephen Baxterʼs science fiction novels Proxima (2013) and Ultima (2014). Iʼve yet to encounter such a story in which microbes are not only intelligent but are engaged in terraforming and communicating with an interstellar community of other similar planetary biomasses (albeït on geological time scales).
