Hello everyone,
 
Can anyone provide information regarding a book that was published a couple
of years ago out of Cornell University that made the argument that the hive
can be seen as an autonomous being - a "superorganism". The idea being that
a hive expresses all the same characteristics as a normal organism might. I
saw one of the authors give a talk a few years back on the subject and have
yet to see or hear of the book. Has anyone got any information they could share?
 
Cheers John Volpe
