elfsKouryou-chan and I have been reading A Miracle of Science together, and discussing all of the issues of the series, along with a metric ton of vocabulary.
So, it reminded me that I should remind you about this underground masterpiece of post-human literature, this wonderfully written and even niftily drawn webcomic about Benjamin Prester of the Vorstellen Police, a special interplanetary police department tasked with bringing down those with science-related memetic disorder, a.k.a. Mad Science Disease, and his partner Caprice Quevellion, Psychological Profiler from the Martian Police.
Mars, it seems, has been very anti-social with the rest of the solar system recently, bottling up and shooing the rest of the system away for the past century or so in order to sort out its own psychological problem: it's citizenry tried to unify into a hive mind, discovered that the hive mind experiment was dysfunctional, then successfully reconfigured as a tribemind, a tightly networked group of individuals who retain their individuality but work together for the betterment of a mental "tribe".
It's awesome stuff, and no really, you should go read it. Because love knows no toposophic boundaries. Go read.
