The Curious power of Spidersilk

Had you ever heard of spider silk being protective prior to the novel? I certainly hadn't, so I had to take a deeper look into the powers that spider silk actually has. As a matter of fact, this insane silk is actually much stronger than steel (5 times, if you're curious) while still maintaining the ability to stretch out like rubber. This is great news for many industries that are looking to the future. Many medical and military facilities have already begun to realize the potential of this silk.

In the book, Mark was actually protected by the spider silk the spiders had left in another realm. This substance would certainly keep out any creepers, thanks to its numerous powers. If you think about it, the book, Spidersilk, is really setting the pace for the future as there is so many amazing things that spider silk will help the human race overcome.
