I will nominate More Than Human by Theodore Sturgeon. It won the 1954 International Fantasy Award.

More Than Human is about a gestalt organism--the next step in human evolution. It concerns a group of people with extraordinary mental and psychic powers who "blesh" (blend + mesh} together so as to form a single entity. The book explores the development of this entity and the nature and morality of such a being. Beautifully--even poetically--written, it is often considered to be Sturgeon's masterpiece.

Amazon has several Kindle editions and the iTunes Book Store carries it in epub format.
