More Than Human by Theodore Sturgeon, published in 1953, is a classic of science fiction that explores the next step in human evolution

The book revolves around a group of extraordinary individuals with psychic abilities who merge into a single, superior entity called the Gestalt. This idea was ahead of its time, influencing later depictions of telepathy and group consciousness

It's unusual here, for so many popular topics & titles to be in one box. I must've once prioritized these, promptly been swamped, & forgotten them... 'til now!

American , & writer. He wrote the episodes "Shore Leave" & "Amok Time”, featuring the first appearance of pon farr, the Vulcan mating ritual, & the 🖖 symbol. He also wrote Trek scripts that weren’t produced, one of these introducing the Prime Directive. The SF&F HOF inducted Sturgeon in 2000.

Sturgeon’s Law: "90% of [science fiction] is crud, but then, 90% of everything is crud."
