The Hive MindEdward O. Wilson lumped humans with ants and bees as eusocial creatures, species that form multi-generational communities where members perform altruistic acts for the benefit of others. This aspect of humanity was never more conspicuous than at Planet X, a CES 2017 house party, where we watched Elvis set up his microphone, amplifier and speakers. Todd Marks, Mindgrub CEO, described the last-minute search for an Elvis to perform. He’d booked this Elvis so quickly, he wasn’t sure if the performer he’d secured was a singing Elvis, a stripping Elvis or both. The human attendants on the other side of the app take care of that for you.
