✦ Synopsis

Theodore Sturgeon & rsquo;s acclaimed classic about a group of gifted misfits who discover that together they have the power to move humankind forward & mdash;or destroy it completely Lone is a seemingly simple young man living on the street and in the woods, dim and helpless, yet effortlessly able to read the thoughts of others. His true nature won & rsquo;t be revealed until the arrival of eight-year-old Janie, a telekinetic; twins Bonnie and Beanie, who can teleport easily across great distances; and Baby, an infant with a super-computer brain. 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? It & rsquo;s a question that takes on a terrifying new relevance when Gerry joins their group & mdash;for though he & rsquo;s powerfully telepathic, he lacks a moral compass ... and his hatred of the world that has rejected him could prove catastrophic. Winner of the International Fantasy Award and considered Theodore Sturgeon & rsquo;s masterpiece, More Than Human is a genre-bending wonder that explores themes of responsibility and morality, individuality, and the need to belong. Moving and suspenseful, lyrical and provocative, the novel was one of the first to elevate science fiction into the realm of literature, and inspired musicians and artists such as the Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills and Nash. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Theodore Sturgeon including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the University of Kansas & rsquo;s Kenneth Spencer Research Library and the author & rsquo;s estate, among other sources.
