A few years ago I read a great sci-fi book, "Children of Ruin", by Adrian Tchaikovsky[1].

The book features, among other things, an octopus civilization.

It's the second book in the series; the first features a spider civilization.

I highly recommend both; they explore concepts of what civilizations would look like with intelligences very different from our own.
