A story about a hive mind

Shapethrower 08 Feb 2019 18:30

The idea of a hive mind/collective consciousness has always sparked some curiosity from me, but in a great number of works the idea seems to be used as a simple overwhelming villain (I.E. The Borg, the ones everyone seems to think of). Conversely, I want to write something that shows these types of collectives in a more warm, pastel-shaded light, but my trouble comes from how to actually convey this thing that I probably don't have the scope of understanding for in a proper voice, while also avoiding making it feel gimmicky.

Share what we know in the Library
Concern the feelings of others
Maybe more details

+ something else

Apart,we are Broken.But united,we are God.I like enjoying the fiction that everyone can selflessly put aside their personal affairs for a while to accomplish a great cause together at the end of the world.Everyone is like a gear that make up the Machinery together.Save ourselves, not wait for deus ex machina.

Recently we have a film called The Wandering Earth that is being shown. This film tells about the near future, the sun is about to become a red giant start to engulf the Earth.To save the Earth, human being have to built tens of thousands of planetary engines on her surface to escape the solar system and find a new home.It is hard to imagine how human being can survive in this situation without this awareness.

It may be bitter, but it may be a choose.To be, or not to be,that is the question.

But was it worth it?I wonder…

Of cause.

I suppose that makes sense enough. That drop-down is interesting though, and I may want to play around with that sort of concept once I get around to outlining some of this.
