ReplyDeleteThe Borg is a collective proper noun for a fictional alien race that appears in various incarnations of the Star Trek franchise. They are a collection of species that have been turned into cybernetic organisms functioning as drones of the collective or the hive.
A pseudo-race, dwelling in the Star Trek universe, the Borg force other species into their collective and connect them to "the hive mind"; the act is called assimilation and entails violence, abductions, and injections of cybernetic implants. The Borg's ultimate goal is "achieving perfection".
I used them as a theme, expressing (in an exaggerated fashion) society's obsession with inter-connectivity via electronics. Indeed, sometimes the gadgets seem to be running the show.
