Comment on Anon doesn't want to join the flesh nexus
JayDee@lemmy.ml 4 weeks agoI believe it’s just a view of humanity eventually evolving towards a hive mind that’s a single consciousness.
It’s not really new. The concept exists in sci fi. First case seems to be in ‘The Human Termites’ in David H. Keller’s 1929 ‘Wonder Stories’ (according to Wikipedia). The specific idea of the flesh nexus is mostly just an evolution of that.

All things considered, that’s incredibly recent. It’s essentially modern folklore, and that’s absolutely fascinating to me. Thank you!
