Ray Nayler's new sci-fi novel 'The Mountain in the Sea' uses the premise of corporate exploitation of a hyperintelligent octopus species in a dystopian future to deliver a stinging critique of our present.
I like octopuses, unlike squids that are also quite intelligent, but agressive and dangerous the bigger ones, octopuses are quite peaceful animals, even very friendly relationships with divers have been observed. Although the great octopuses can live a little longer, it is too short a life to be able to take advantage of this intelligence potential that they have, in the elite of the animals that not only use tools, but also capable of manufacturing them, which until now has only been observed in some apes and crows.
