More Than Human is a 1953 science fiction novel by Theodore Sturgeon, expanded from his earlier novella Baby Is Three. It follows six people: Lone, a mentally disabled wild man who can read minds; Gerry Thompson, an orphan with limited mind control abilities; Janie, a girl with telekinesis; Bonnie and Beanie, twins who can teleport; and Baby, a child with Down syndrome who can't talk, but has superhuman intelligence. The six have the ability to merge their abilities together, which they call bleshing.

Artificial Gravity: Lone builds an antigravity machine, following Baby's instructions, in order to help the Prodds with their truck. When he reaches their farm, he finds that they're already gone, so he attaches it to the truck in their field and forgets about it. Hip discovers it years later and spends seven years tracking down the people who put it there.
