I read Anderson's ''Brain wave' novel a long time ago, and in short it's about what happens to the world when thanks to some ''field'' shenanigans all creatures with significant brain become about 5x more intelligent overnight. It actually caused a lot of he'll to break loose and major societal upheavels on a global scale, not to mention animals becoming much smarter too.
Yeah I'd like to see a good long movie or a mini-series done of that.
''The black cloud '' by astronomer Fred hoyle was about the titular object detected approaching the solar system and at first taken for a simple dust/gas cloud but it begins acting in a way that suggests control, or even intelligent behavior.
Eventually scientists deduce it is an intelligent life form that is charging itself by orbiting the sun while killing earth as a side effect. Eventually they must establish contact with it to save humanity. The ultimate first contact novel with a truly Alien intelligence.
