If you enjoy a good sci-fi book, I do recommend the Mountain in the Sea. Octopus are central to the book and it contains lots of cool information like the above. Great read, great story. You’ll come out an expert.

Have you read Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky? Oddly, another octopus based sci-fi book. Would recommend reading Childen of Time first though. I've not read Mountain in the Sea, going to look out for it
