More Than Human by Theodore Sturgeon is a classic sci fi novel written back in the 1950's and is way ahead of it's time when aliens and spaceships reigned supreme.
The idea that the next phase of human evolution would be to share hive-mind features and become Homo Gestalt rather than the tradational psychic, telekinetic or other mutant gene selections. Getting away from the selfish "what would you want to evolve" and writing a book about the next phase that arrives without choice, without understanding and without ethics.
In three parts it starts each time in one place and unravels back from there to understanding and eventually resolution.
Enjoyed - the only Sturgeon I have ever read, but may have to dig out some more.
Next week, whatever I can fit around moving ...
