synopsis
A satirical novel featuring a a race of ants in central Africa whose Intelligence exceeds that of humans, and who engage in a kind of world-spanning Great Ant War with surrounding tribes of ants; these events may be presumed to have happened aeons earlier, as the only record of the war is to be found in an hieroglyphic tablet which itself refers to events in the deep past.
