Books like Deep Range by Arthur C. Clarke
Set under the ocean rather than in space, the story imagines a future in which whales are herded by submarines and the world’s food supply is based on plankton.

Through its unique setting, the novel blends speculative science with speculative social change, reimagining how humanity might adapt to an ocean‑dominated world while maintaining the triad of science, adventure, and ethical reflection that characterizes its author’s work.
