It sounds like you should author a new book titled 'The Matrix'(joking of course). I hope that we are of free will and have at least a small say as to how our lives are to proceed.

If you are nfamiliar with Childhood's End, I would highly recommend a reading. There are many who believe the hive mind is more of the rule than the xception. It certainly appears to be the case in nature. The flight f birds such as in the beginning of Take Shelter or this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH-groCeKbE implies an innate extrasensory form of communication. In Childhood's nd, it takes the tranquility created by the Overlords for the mankind atchling; but, in other scifi, the mind merge is created by such as he internet. One could certainly expect that when our wet ware links re installed as predicted by Gibson in Neuromancer. Indeed, Whitley Streiber (et. al. - no pun intended) has conjectured hat the hive-minded little abductors who walk in lockstep while robing his nether regions are actually time travelling humans who ave returned to the past in hopes of retrieving those genes which llowed individual thought. Maybe we are the exception using EM waves to communicate. Maybe most ascent sentience uses quantum entanglement for communication. Indeed we are living in a fairly old universe. Maybe we are just pets r a zoo for more mature species. It goes on. I won't. T
