Blindsight. One of the most interesting sci-fi stories I found impossible to get into and enjoy due to the author's dense and obtuse prose. I have a squirrel brain, so maybe it's just me.

I just wish one day someone will be able to turn it in a video game or a movie so I can understand how alien those aliens really are.

It is very much a preference thing. I do like Watt's prose quite a bit.

This is notably also adored by Watts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW7_1J9clAA

In case you want to fall down into the rabbit hole then https://blindsight.space

Now I just wish that some serious producer like Nolan would get a hint.
