In science fiction, a group mind, also known as a group ego, mind coalescence, or gestalt intelligence, is a story device in which several minds or consciousnesses are joined into a single, collective consciousness or intellect. Other names for this plot device include "group ego," "mind coalescence," and "gestalt intelligence." The use of human hive minds in literature dates back at least as far as David H. Keller's The Human Termites and Olaf Stapledon's science fiction novel Last and First Men (1930), which is the first known use of the term "group mind" in science fiction. The first alien hive society was depicted in H. G. Wells's novel The First Men in the Moon (1901). However, the earliest known use of the phrase "hive mind" in science fiction was in James H. Schmitz's Second Night of Summer (1950). The phrase was originally used in the context of beekeeping in 1943 and was recorded for the first time in that year. Any fictional plot element that enables brains to communicate with one another, such as telepathy, has the potential to foster the formation of a group mind.
