You just articulated the reason why I wrote that the idea of a Hive concept wasn't new in today's context. From your comments, I realised we've been explosed plenty of times since Herbert's novel.

But nowadays, too many books on this type of hypothesis. Because I watch Sci Fi shows after I finished my Sci Fi reading era (about the time Isaac Asimov finished his Foundation series). I think these tv series borrows their idea from these type of books. Too name a few TV series which feature Hive community 1. Stargate Atlantis - its because the alien enemy lives in a hive community. 2. Late 80s SF tv-series - "V" 3. Star-Trek Next Generation - the Captain hate the Borg, an artificial intelligence based hive, that assimilated him - the phrase comes to mind "Resistance is Futile". Borg also appear in Star-Trek Voyager series. 4. A twist on this hive thing is an obedient oppressive regime that only allow group think - like the human spare parts in the movie "The Island", or the movie by George Lucas - "THX 1138" 5. The moves and books - StarShip Troopers it seems ok, if its the first of this genre that have not read any yet.
