The Borg are cyborgs linked in a hive mind called “The Collective” from the Star Trek fictional universe.
The term Cyborg (cybernetic organisms) was coinded in 1960 on the Cyborgs and space (Clynes and Kline 1960).
Altering man’s bodily functions to meet the requirements of extraterrestrial environments would be more logical than providing an earthly environment for him in space . . . Artifact-organism systems which would extend man’s unconscious, self-regulatory controls are one possibility.
– Cyborgs and space (Clynes and Kline 1960)
The Borg’s ultimate goal is “achieving perfection” by co-opting the technology and knowledge of other alien species to “The Collective” through the process of “assimilation”.
The Borg and the Big Tech companies share the same goal of “achieving perfection” and share the same behavior through the process of “assimilation”.
