Our Ant doesn't like to read. :)

Yeah, get me a computer game and/or movie/TV show. :P Actually, the
brief plot/story reminded me of Grounded game I played during its free
weekend. Did anyone play it?

I couldn't; I was grounded.

I always disliked "humans shrinking to insect size" stories...
especially the ones that expect to be taken half-way seriously (I'll
forgive crap like "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" because those are
turn-your-brain-off experiences). But there are so many necessary
adaptations that make survival in the world-of-tiny that humans lack
that it's hard for me to overlook. Not to mention the idea that humans
with entire BODIES smaller than the head of ant (as the cover of the
book above implies) are supposed to be as smart as what their
full-sized brethren...

/me gets Duke Nukem 3D's shrink ray gun and shoots with it. ;)
