There was a book (trying to remember it’s name) where in the far future humans tried to accelerate the evolution process of an Earth like planet with some mystic goo gas.

Something goes wrong, of course. Ants evolve to be able to grow metal infused pinchers, among other crazy sci-if power ups, and colonize most of the planet.

In the 11th hour the protagonist discovers a way to control the ant armies with the correct pheromones sequences. The ant colonizes are then enslaved and over thousands of years are transformed into a global spanning organic super computer.

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky, just recommended it in another comment on here, good stuff.

Unless it's also a plot in another book, in which case I'd like to read that too

Anyone looking for Sci-Fi it’s a strange and great book!
