If you haven't read it, Peter Watts wrote "The Things" from the alien's perspective, and it's really good: http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/watts_01_10/

I read this without paying any attention to who the author was, then read Blindsight a few years later, then saw this again a few months ago, noticed who the author was, and was like "oh, of course that was Peter Watts, that makes complete sense".

Peter Watts also wrote the Rifters series, which is about an ancient virus that gets dug up deep beneath the sea.
