Individually, they are a seemingly simpleminded young man living in the woods who can read the thoughts of others, a runaway girl with telekinetic powers, twin girls who can barely speak but can teleport across great distances, and an infant with a mind like a supercomputer. Together, they are the Gestalt - a single extraordinary being comprised of remarkable parts - although an essential piece may be missing . . .

But are they the next stage in human development or harbingers of the end of civilization? The answer may come when they are joined by Gerry. Powerfully telepathic, he lacks a moral compass - and his hatred of the world that has rejected him could prove catastrophic.

More Than Human is a genre-bending wonder that explores themes of responsibility and morality, individuality, and belonging. The novel was one of the first to elevate science fiction into the realm of literature, and inspired musicians and artists, including the Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills & Nash.

From the Nebula Award-winning author of Godbody, The Dreaming Jewels, and other great works of science fiction, this is a must-listen for anyone who enjoys Ramsey Campbell, Robert Silverberg, or Philip Jose Farmer.

First published in 1952, More Than Human won the Retro Hugo Award for Best Novel.

Theodore Sturgeon (1918 - 1985) Theodore Sturgeon was born Edward Hamilton Waldo in New York City in 1918. Sturgeon was not a pseudonym; his name was legally changed after his parents' divorce. After selling his first SF story to Astounding in 1939, he travelled for some years, only returning in earnest in 1946. He produced a great body of acclaimed short fiction (SF's premier short story award is named in his honour) as well as a number of novels, including More Than Human, which was awarded the 1954 retro-Hugo in 2004. In addition to coining Sturgeon's Law - '90% of everything is crud' - he wrote the screenplays for seminal Star Trek episodes 'Shore Leave' and 'Amok Time', inventing the famous Vulcan mating ritual, the pon farr.
