Book Summary
The novel tells the story of Jommy Cross, an orphan mutant with telepathic abilities who belongs to a race of superbeings known as "slans".
Slans are hunted and despised by normal humans who fear their superior abilities.
The story follows Jommy as he tries to survive and find others of his kind while being pursued by a repressive government.
The book explores themes of prejudice, identity, and the nature of humanity, and is considered an analogy for the persecution of minorities.
