Ant Geopolitics

People hold about 100 Megatons of dry carbon unless I made some fundamental error (9 billion * 65 kg * 0.185 [18.5% carbon by mass]). It's actually a bit amazing when one calculates figures like this.

Adrian Tchaikovsky's sci-fi book Children of Time has a pretty cool take on the future of ant wars. I'm interviewing him in a couple weeks to talk about ecology in science fiction. If anyone has a suggestion for a question I'd love to hear it.
