I think a good prequel background for the game Bunnies and Burrows would be 
Poul Anderson's Brainwave.
Millions of years ago, the Earth entered a zone of Space which inhibited 
electrical and chemical processes slightly, causing a reduction in intelligence 
in all organisms. About a few years after the book was published (1950s) the 
planet exits the field.
All life, under the handicap, had coevolved much more efficient brains. When 
The Change happened, the animals and birds became as smart as people used to 
be. The Retarded became as smart as Stephen Hawking. Everybody else becomes 
transcendent singularities. In weeks we invent FTL. A few more weeks we have a 
new language where each word contains paragraphs of concepts. A few weeks after 
that we have developed psionics (especially telepathy) and other ineffable 
abilities, and we abandon the planet to the animals and the ex-retarded.
It is one of my all-time favorite SF novels...I highly recommend it!
