Greater Mind and Awakening sound pretty generic to my ear, i think you can go for something catchier and more unique. Superorganism i think is the catchiest of the options you listed but i think there’s more options to explore. hmm. can you say a bit more about the novel?

1/ There’s a group living in a neighborhood called Little Satori. The Satorians are kind of like EAs who place greater importance on beauty, relationships, enlightenment. They’ve accumulated substantial resources to stave off XRisk while slowly building a flourishing civilization

2/ But there are other ppl with different ideas who mess with their plans. Some want to create AGI. Some want a chaotic world of enchantment. Some want to move beyond safety considerations to bring about a transhumanist future with powerful neurotech *now*.
