Homo Excelsior

In many of Schmitz's stories, especially his Telzey stories and the Agent of Vega quartet, the protagonists are people with extraordinary powers. Still, they are not supermen, and their powers and abilities are simply incorporated into "normal" societies rather than determining them. Unlike many other SF authors of his day—A.E. Van Vogt comes immediately to mind—Schmitz does not seem to have been particularly fascinated by the theme of what kind of societies "Homo Excelsior" might produce.

There are a few exceptions, however, and we've collected them together in this section of the anthology.
