What is it?

Hive mind is similar in its scope to what Michio Kaku describes as the Brain Net, although the term "Hive Mind" may have more negative connotations. A hive mind may function collectively as a form of posthuman transhumanism, though individual members are typically simply transhuman.

In popular culture

In popular culture, the term "Hive mind" is often used as a negative term to mean people who can't think for themselves. Technolibertarians characterise proponents of the Hive mind (borganism) are as borganists. A borganist can be described as; "a form of Technoprogressive who is open and honest about advocating for assimilation of all individual human beings, Human Uploaded Minds, and Artificial Intelligences into one globe spanning Hive Mind."
