That or more insight into what the day-to-day actions of the Hivemind are. Do the individual humans still need recreation? Do things like fashion sense and taste preferences remain/matter? Or have all traces of individuality truly been erased? Less racist white author more weird sci-fi!

I have no idea how the latter would work but if a virus can turn a species Into a Hive mind then presumably it can do the opposite? Maybe? Fuck if i know as I said its just speculation. But someone sent the code for A reason, and I wish we had Any indication as to what.

The "good" guess is that some far-flung alien species tried to help us "save outselves" by brute-forcing collective action via the Hive Mind, and after a few decades when climate change has been solved and all the nukes have been decommissioned theyll send a new RNA sequence to reverse things?

The "bad" guess is that some galactic empire needed a few billion obedient thralls and Earth was next on the list of "planets with intelligent enough life we can genetically modify them to suit our needs"

To make art is to look within, something that no billionaire can bare to do
