Cyberhive is a direct result of scientific discoveries centered on mind control. The great social thinkers of Diamond Age, having overcome some resistance coming from other political options, used this knowledge to forge a new form of society. By inhibiting the most basic, atavistic and selfish tendencies, they created the New Man, who became the paragon of their age. Thus was created society based on absolute equality, honesty, and devotion, which knew no struggle, no oppression, and no fear - only love and selflessness. While not as dynamic as certain more liberal types of government, the Cyberhive is considered by many the pinnacle of human social thought. At the same time, others consider the Cyberhive the most evil form of society imaginable, as it shows absolutely no trace of freedom.
