There's Janie, who moves things without touching them, and there are the teleporting twins, who can travel ten feet or ten miles. There's Baby, who invented an antigravity engine while still in the cradle, and Gerry, who has everything it takes to run the world except for a conscience. Separately, they are talented freaks. Together, they compose a single organism that may represent the next step in evolution, and the final chapter in the history of the human race. As the protagonists of \u003ci\u003eMore Than Human\u003c\/i\u003e struggle to find out who they are and whether they are meant to help humanity or destroy it, Theodore Sturgeon explores questions of power and morality, individuality and belonging, with suspense, pathos, and a lyricism rarely seen in science fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWinner of the Hugo, Nebula, and International Fantasy Awards\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheodore Sturgeon was born in Staten Island, New York in 1918.
