Randall Garrett’s Supermind (1963, co-written with Laurence M. Janifer under the shared pseudonym Mark Phillips) features FBI agent Kenneth Malone investigating a string of bizarre crimes that seem to involve extraordinary mental powers. The mystery unfolds into a sharp meditation on collective intelligence and the limits of individual consciousness. Garrett and Janifer were among the most technically accomplished writers working in the commercial science fiction of this era.
