Blindsight by Peter Watts is a terrific book that deals with evolution and consciousness. It’s not a very chipper book, but it makes you think.
You have a race of organisms that achieved interstellar travel, and while very intelligent and physically adaptable, they are evolution on roids. The only reason they’re coming for us is because our free will and autonomy is a waste of evolutionary resources.
