Conscious Ants and Human Hives by Peter Watts has an entertaining take on Neuralink.

In breif, Watts doubts Neuralink could provide "faster internet" in the sense Neuralink markets to investors, but other darker markets exist.. Around fiction, if you've read Blindsight and Echopraxia then The Colonel touches amusizingly employs Watts perspective on hiveminds. "Attack of the Hope Police: Delusional Optimism at the End of the World?" is lovely latlk too. Also "The Collapse Is Coming. Will Humanity Adapt?" by Peter Watts.
