Prism (fictional planet)

Prism (fictional planet)

Prism is a fictional planet created by Alan Dean Foster in which in addition to carbon based life forms, silicon based life forms also abound. There are a number of intelligent species on the planet, but the book which introduces the planet, "Sentenced to Prism", only deals with one group, known as the Associative. The Associative contains a number of different specialized sub-types, much as a termite mound would. Known types include Scouts, Libraries, Walls, Physicians, Conduits, Warriors, Gatherers, and Talkers.
