Invaders from Mars - A Global takover from a hive mind - non-fiction

Invaders from Mars - Charlie's Diary:
"Corporations do not share our priorities. They are hive organisms constructed out of teeming workers who join or leave the collective: those who participate within it subordinate their goals to that of the collective, which pursues the three corporate objectives of growth, profitability, and pain avoidance. (The sources of pain a corporate organism seeks to avoid are lawsuits, prosecution, and a drop in shareholder value.)"

Charles Stross looks at why the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
