In "The Hive" by Morgan Baden, a group of teenagers is chosen to become part of an experimental social media platform that promises fame and fortune. However, the seemingly glamorous opportunity quickly turns sinister as the participants navigate a web of manipulation, betrayal, and danger. As friendships fracture and secrets unravel, the characters must confront their own motivations and the dark side of their desires. The story explores themes of identity, the impact of technology on personal relationships, and the lengths one will go to for acceptance and success in a hyper-connected world.
