''Hellstrom's Hive'' (1973) is a science fiction novel written by Frank Herbert. It is about a secret group of humans who model their lives upon social insects, and the unsettling events that unfold after they are discovered by a deeply undercover agency of the US government. ==Inspiration== David L. Wolper's quasi-documentary film ''The Hellstrom Chronicle,'' released in 1971, was the inspiration for Herbert's novel.〔David Pringle, ''The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction: An A-Z of Science Fiction Books by Title'' Scolar Press, 1995 ISBN 1859280714, (p. 170)〕 In an interview with Tim O'Reilly, Herbert stated: I said, "In terms of what we want now, as we think of our world now, what would be the most horrible kind of civilization you could imagine?" And then I said, "Now I will make... (members of that civilization ) the heroes of the story, by taking negative elements of the surrounding society and treating them as the villain." That creates a very peculiar kind of tension. 〔O'Reilly, Timothy.
