Ok, so i've queued up samples of a few books folks recommended here, along with others I found randomly searching around. Will report back if any stick:
  • Diaspora - Greg Egan
  • Permutation City - Greg Egan
  • Hyperion - Dan Simmons
  • Revelation Space - Alastair Reynolds
  • Blindsight - Peter Watts
  • Childhood's End - Arthur C. Clarke
  • Forge of God - Greg Bear

PLEASE let me know if any of the above contain spiders.
Following on Shnakepup's heels, Childhood's End also contains no spiders as I recall. Also, great list!

Nostalgia for Infinity is still the best spaceship name I've ever come across.

I really should reread his short story collections. Haven't read them in like 15 years but I remember thinking that both Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days and Galactic North had some real bangers in them.

e: is Zima Blue any good? Don't think I ever got around to reading that one actually.
FWIW, Zima Blue was made into an episode of Love, Death, and Robots. Very solid episode but I don't remember if it held tightly to the original text or not.
