novel about spacefaring octopus

Help me find this: a novel where they use an octopus to pilot a spaceship because something about how it can navigate in 3d space under the water. Some chapters are told from the point of view of the octopus, I think.

hobgadling got it, although it's a squid not an octopus.

Ken MacLeod's Engines of Light series has a similar plot line, also with giant squid.
