Overview

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 José Farmer.

Author Information

Theodore Sturgeon (1918-1985) is one of the great figures of the golden age of science fiction. He wrote over two hundred stories, several novels, scripts for film and television (including two of the most famous episodes of the original Star Trek), plays, and dozens of nonfiction reviews and essays. His many literary awards include the Hugo, the Nebula, and the International Fantasy Award. His most famous novel, More Than Human, won serious academic recognition as literature, a rarity amongst science fiction works of the 1950s. Preston Geer is a native Southern Californian, hailing from the city of Orange. He attended California State University, Fullerton, where he received bachelor's degrees in both military history and film/TV production. Upon graduation, Preston went on to intern with famed director Ridley Scott's production companies (RSA and Scott Free) and shortly after, began work as a studio and freelance camera operator. Finally, Preston discovered that his true passions in the industry were acting and screenwriting. He has continued to pursue both vigorously ever since. With a naturally rich and baritone voice, Preston has performed a wide range of character voices and accents across a diverse scope of genres, including romance, true crime, fantasy/sci-fi, memoir and biography, gothic horror, and historical fiction. Preston has had success in dozens of film and television roles, and has recently added theatrical work to his repertoire. He continues to write and act and never loses steam (even during the COVID-19 quarantine). He has been married to fellow actress Emily Bolt since May 26th, 2017. He resides in Los Angeles, California, and continues to consume an inexhaustible amount of comic books on a daily basis.
