Suggest books with a virus or life form that is a hive mind or assimilates others. Like shared memories, experiences etc. These are the ones I've read and liked
Children of Ruin
Who goes there? by John Campbell – and other retellings in the books and movies form
The Mercy of Gods
Leech
Sci-fi, thriller in adult categories please. Also, I'm curious if there are adult fantasy books with this element.
Thanks

I don’t have any book recs but I do recommend Pluribus on Apple TV if you have it. It’s exactly this.
For scifi I recommend Expanse series
The Conjoiner faction in the Revelation Space books share consciousness and have what could be described as a hive mind, although they do retain some individuality.
Expanse.
The Demon in Penric’s Demon has >!lived in 10 ladies over her lifetime (plus the mare and the lioness) and all those personalities are now living in Penric.!<
the rising ->brian keene
Hmmm I’m curious if Annihilation would fit this theme. Incredible film, and I’ve heard the book is even better.
The Genius Plague maybe?
