See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

So I remember reading a sci-fi book many years ago where the plot was that an alien race planned to exterminate human beings, but refrained because "there's only one of [them]" -- all human consciousness was connected into one, like in a jellyfish or slime mold but on a larger scale.
Does anyone have any idea what this was? I mentioned it to my husband recently, and he thinks I'm insane. Thanks.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Does anyone have any idea what this was?
Ummmm . . . . By the end of the Forever saga by Haldeman, they were, but, um, nope.

Does anyone have any idea what this was?
Rings a bell, but it's kind of the plot of the Alpha Centauri computer game, so I may be confused.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It sounds like a cross between The Puppet Masters and Childhood's End.

Sophia, I think you meant that for a different thread.

Hmmm. I did read Childhood's End. How close is that to the scenario I'm describing, Jess?
