The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
A Deconstruction of this trope would be The Evils of Free Will or Assimilation Plot, both of which are usually portrayed as villainous goals. The trope most similar to the one you're describing would probably be Humans Are Psychic in the Future, where Psychic Powers are portrayed as an evolutionary step up, and thus, a positive development.
Trimming the hedges, one trope at a time.
Thank you for your answers.
Speaking of the Deconstruction of this trope, is there a specific Trope Page/Name for the scenario where "the worldwide mind-link is successfully established, but it failed to result in peace and utopia"?
"I awaken."
Looking for this trope describing a plot point in fictional stories from various media wherein a telepathic mind-link established among the entire population across the whole world (a common example is "all of humanity on Earth") leads to worldwide peace, utopia realized and happy ending for the narrative/story.
In addition, is there a Trope Page/Name for the Inverted or Deconstructed version of the trope described above?
EDIT: Is there a specific Trope Page/Name for the scenario where "the worldwide mind-link is successfully established, but it failed to result in peace and utopia"?
