The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Naylor:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"Rumors begin to spread of a dangerous species of hyperintelligent octopus that may have developed its own language and culture. The marine biologist Dr. Ha Nguyen, who has spent her life researching cephalopod intelligence, will do anything for the chance to study them."
