Similar narratives about increasing connectivity, global superorganisms, emergent consciousness, etc. were developed by Teilhard de Chardin in The Phenomenon of Man and in similarly mystical terms by Olaf Stapledon in Star Maker—in the thirties. There is much reflection there on varieties of superorganisms and on the level of consciousness and concern achieved both by the individuals and by the collective mind. But these narratives are wildly optimistic... even when they narrate cosmic catastrophes. Nothing guarantees that global connectivity is not the shortest way to global system failure, or self-destruction before any godlike thing emerges. Which is indeed my forecast.
