More than Human is the story of the first collective entity. Six misfits link consciousnesses to become a single, yet still individual, gestalt entity. The book explores the very roots of identity….
It asks very deep questions about morality—for the gestalt must decide where its loyalties lie. It asks questions about the nature of evolution. It forces the reader to consider a world where he or she is the outmoded, is Neanderthal. On a more basic level, the questions surrounding attitudes towards freakishness, the crippled and different come at the reader from every corner.
None of these are pleasant or easy questions. They are not meant to be. (p. 83)
