Spider silk plays a huge role in protecting the main character, Mark, in Spidersilk the novel. This incredible substance is one of the more durable substances on the planet, so there’s no wonder why spiders were able to ensure Mark was safe as the intruders attacked him and his friends. In our own dimension, spider silk is finally making a name for itself. More recently, ADIDAS announced its new line of sneakers will use this material. This will not only make the future of sneakers more durable, but will also help bring a more eco-friendly design to the shoe industry.
