5.0

More Than Human is a fix-up novel that elegantly interlaces themes of identity, alienation, and the innate desire to belong through its deeply flawed yet compelling characters. Theodore Sturgeon challenges readers with philosophical quandaries, psychological depth, and moral dilemmas, sparking deep reflection and engagement. The character development is intricate, skillfully weaving the individual strands into a mesmerizing tapestry. Profound and beautifully written, the book is a masterful exploration of what makes us human, demonstrating Sturgeon’s profound understanding of both individuality and collective existence.
