"The Whole Man" is a 1964 science fiction novel by John Brunner. It was nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1965.

This novel is often considered a turning point in Brunner's career, a step up from the brief and action-centered work he'd been turning out as Ace Doubles to the richer, more complex books exemplified by "Stand on Zanzibar".

In the UK, it was published under the title Telepathist.

Plot summary

After a riot in a near-future England where telepathy has been discovered, the authorities discover Gerald Howson, a physically deformed youth with greater telepathic power than has ever been seen before. The novel details Howson's struggles to come to grips with his power and his deformity.
