References

I'm only just starting to build a list of references on superorganisms, but I thought I might as well go ahead and make an essay out of it.

I already mentioned two references in the introduction, namely, Sturgeon's book More Than Human and, regarding anthills, Hofstadter's dialogue … Ant Fugue.

The idea of insect colonies as superorganisms also shows up in one of Lewis Thomas' essays, On Societies as Organisms.

A recent find is the book Metaman. I haven't finished reading it, yet, but it's definitely an interesting one. I'll save the rest of my comments for another essay.
